Strava..... For dummies

[rouxtjie]

I have contacted Strava on this a few times and they have shown me the logged ticket where they will be adding in a better more accurate function. Hate the current one because when you see people have taken the easier route you are almost forced to do that in order to get a time. We created one called the Big U at VG, but then one day we didn't do the full one into the rocky section on the hill but rode along the edge of the field and it gave us better times so we investigated and turns out we were the only ones that were setting times on the longer harder route (the original). Anyway we sorted that out by klapping the shorter route. Bit sad though.

I still have mini oom piets ...dammit you have to be KOM of your own sections.

Some cool tips for Strava KOM Whacking:

Start the segment fresh

Go for low hanging fruit

The Leadout

Start at the back, finish at the front

Stay away from the PRO’s segments. You don’t have a chance…

 

The comments provide some of the more sneakier options (like wait for the wind to blow, or define private segments...)

This doesn't help when our Olympian comes and does the Nissan VG race and klaps all the segments...

I've joined The Hub SA club, but what else can you do instead of Recent Activity and Members?

Yeah we quickly got new terms and conditions after that kid died.

Ask rouxtjie about him doing one of his own segments. I think he crashed in the first 20m of it ha ha

Oh ok I see one thing is when you do a segment you can select the club and it only shows those members' times.

When you check a segment, you can show just the club members you part of

Try having the Argus come through every year on all the segments you've been doing

I kept my mini oom piets, tied with Philip buys....but then again he already did 50km by then, and wasn't trying....I had eye of the tiger playing, and klapped 4 gels just before that 1km section.

 

Damn its close

Ends up on the hub

You can also delete the ride if you really want. I'm sitting with the same issue; my actual ride was 93.8km, 3h15 but @ the 1h37 mark I stopped my Garmin because I had coffee and then when I left I started it again and "lapped" it. My Garmin shows the entire ride, GarminConnect (other logging software) shows the full distance BUT with a 1h37 "moving time" and 3h15 "ride time." So frustrating because it appears that despite the entire route being on my Garmin, when I uploaded it, only the GPS data of my first "lap" was recorded and the time of the overall ride.

 

Just joined the group and I see there are now 37 of us.

 

I flagged the ride and marked it as private so it does not show up in any of the KOM stats or anything. On Bryton's website everything is perfect. Distance, time, everything. As soon as I upload to strava something goes haywire.
