Strava - fun with your Garmin

If you haven't found Strava yet, it is a great place to log your rides and compare your times up some of the local climbs against other riders. Takes info from Garmin and even iPhones with a little app installed.

I've setup us up as a club on there as I've noticed some of the local clubs have done likewise, yet another place to help promote our club I thought.

Can't email as we are not friends! I've put the password in the members only area, good place for it methinks...

All the best - Brian

I've signed up for this. Looks a good system that can do anything Garmin connect can and a lot more as well. Now you can compare how you rate on climbs and other segments...

Kingston Wheelers, London Dynamo, Dulwich Paragon are all on there so bragging rights are at stake !

I have signed up, but my laptop at home does not like the site, and freezes when I click on it. Is that because I need some more software ?. Any ideas. Ta Steve

Should be alright Steve, I've used it with IE7/8, Chrome and Firefox. If you are going to take files directly from your Garmin, your laptop will need the appropriate driver when you upload rides (same one used by Garmin connect).

Oliver is a star on there, topping a lot of KOM's!

Just bumping this back upto the top as there are lots of new members who may not have heard of this yet. As above, you can set up a free account with 5 uploads per calender month and it basically analysis the file so you can see how you compare to others on the same section of road.

GS Avanti are set up as a club on there as well so make sure you include them on your profile

Great fun !
