The .fit file has a unique identifier in the file itself, when you eventually sync the ride to Garmin and it gets sent to Strava their upload will check the IDs to make sure that it hasn't already been added - you can test this by uploading a .fit file and then trying to upload it again.

Moe importantly can we manually drop strava routes onto our units?
Had an issue recently where I wanted to combine two rides (I saved my ride at traffixc lights instead of resume). it had auto uploaded to strava, so when I combined the two it wouldn't accept it. When deleting the two from strava was cached somewhere for 30 minutes before it would accept the ONE combined ride (was my longest ride ever, so wanted it as one, as the two weren't longest!) Oh dear I love stats!

Gosh, I remember doing such primitive things in my youth. How ever did we manage?
Much more difficult to do it now given new laptops don't even come with usb ports anymore. Macs certainly don't.
Modern Macs don't come with USB ports?! WTF... Any laptop worth it's salt comes with USB, and USB3 at that!
Guess it's the make it thinner and lighter... Just saying this morning how apple are Form over Function, and if true, this kinda suggests that
My Mac has 3 USB ports. Not sure it still counts as modern as it's a year old
Good... Wasn't me who said they didn't and no a year old isn't old

Nope I have an 800 which I have to connect to upload
I got a 310xt watch that I sometimes use which requires ANT PC, as me Samsung finally died which had ANT+ built in

Yes, in fact I choose to do it that way anyway.
Get the route as a .TCX file and copy it to the "NewFiles" folder on the device (not the Courses folder). The next time you restart the device, it will convert that file to Garmin's format and move it to the Courses folder for you.

I tried using my phone today to record my Strava ride.. It didn't end well.
Its made me look like i was some kind of super hero, cracking an average of 25mph of 65 miles when in reality i barely averaged 17 mph over 45 miles..
Hopefully the garmin head unit that i also recorded the ride on will upload the correct data when the app is up and running again
