Strava user here, it is kind of addictive, quite how long that'll last I don't know ... Already have several segments with identical PB times on them ;-)
You can export gpx from Strav, under an activity, Actions->Export GPX

I've got the following:
NC-17 Wahoo ANT+ Sensor 2012
NC-17 Wahoo iPhone Case or NC-17 Wahoo iPhone Dongle
Wahoo Heart Rate Monitor
You'll be amazed how inaccurate the info is without the sensors fitted.

I'll look those up...cheers! Though I think maybe I'd be best off living in ignorance and totally believing that I burn 2 billion calories on every 10 mile ride

Recently downloaded Strava and I'm loving it, I got a medal the other day without even knowing whichsection of my ride it was for, however, I know now and I like the motivation it's given me to improve on my time there.

strava is awesome especially when you do a ride and 10 personal bests show up

Just discovered this thread, after I discovered Strava a few weeks ago, and uploaded a bunch of last years .gpx files to it. Imagine my surprise when it said I was recording the 3rd best time on one segment, and earned myself a medal with a "3" badge. Especially since I pedal at a very modest pace just enjoying the scenery. I was even more surprised when I clicked on the ride that I was "3rd best" in to find I was position 128 out of 130. Bizarre.

It's was alerting you to YOUR thrid best time if you post a best time its a different medal. Enjoy the challenge getting up the ranks!!

Oh, it gets better. I got a cup with a "6" on it for another segment. That’s 6th out of 6 riders …
Thanks for explaining what it all means.
Climbing up the ranks probably isnt my kind of cycling, though.

Been using MapMyRide since I dusted off my bike in May but just downloaded strava to see if its better. Not expecting I can export my info from MapMyRide to Strava but if anybody can tell me I can it'd be awesome

I also use cyclemeter just got the free app and don't bother with the heart rate and cadence. As long as I know ride time, average speed and distance that's good for me. I mainly go on canal towpaths so ascent and descent are not that relevant and it also shows calories burnt etc. I find it great for a free app and if u are interested in competing with others u can upload your rides to strava. Most of all enjoy your riding.

Tried Strava this morning. The distance and time seems fine but I much prefer the calories burned figure in Map My Ride!
308 calories in 1:06:43 over 13.7 miles seems a little stindgy to me. I want my roast potatoes AND Yorkshire pud :-)
