And it's also free, except if you buy the better version.

If you have the data on your PC, then you can mail all of it (from the mail addy you used to register on Strava) to upload@strava.com. Max of 25MB per mail. I did that, exporting rides/runs from SportTracks and it worked like a charm.

 

Also, you CAN export all your data from Strava ;)

I know you can import .gpx files.

Click through to the ride (not the segment) and click "Flag Ride"

Please do not flag segment as dangerous!

a little more trickier to pick up if someone has used digital epo....but there is a way. :devil:

You need to export them from endomondo...

 

I take it you use your smartphone to record....if you have a garmin you would be fine, then just upload all the activities in one go in your activities folder

Please share (even via PM) as I saw something peculiar this morning. Bloke was definitely doing something with a car. Constant speeds of 60-70 but with stops (robots?) bringing his averages down to 45km/h

If its suspicious I flag it - easy to spot.

No sweat, will post here so that other peeps can also check.

 

So a car or motorbike is easy to pick up like you mentioned....the oke is doing 60-70km/h on 10% gradient. Easy one...flag the kuk out of his ride..

 

Digital epo is slighly trickier since it is believable ie....the guy takes a kom by a couple of seconds. So how to check if digital epo was used. You check his speed over the section....the graph will have little bumps in them when you zoom into a section....it isn't smooth like if someone cycled it.

I record all my rides with Endomondo and then export to Strava (As I feel strava uses more battery and has on occation lost entire workouts)

On the Workouts page, click on the activity and around the middle on the right, you will see a more options button, under there you will find the export option

here is a link explaining it in more detail

When they talk about "speedbumps"... My question is, would hooking a truck for a portion of your ride be sufficient to get your ride canned? Even though you worked real hard to get and stay behind the truck for some km?

 

That said, I really appreciate your link, it not only explains this cheating thing, but for explains what strava is. Thank you.

It depends...

 

digital epo alters the file after the ride(cheater will cheat and all that...so they will apply a percentage speed increase on the whole ride), it doesn't toggle with it while you ride. This is what causes the little speedbumps to appear on strava

 

hooking onto a truck won't make those little bumps since you are actually traveling at that speed, but if you are pushing 29 watts / kg....it will look pretty suspicious :whistling:

the worst thing about strava is getting a whole lot of KOMs on holiday, then seeing the notifications come in of how people are steeling them and you arent there to defend them haha
