If it isn't on Strava ( other route loggers are available) it didn't happen

[Chris1983]

I log all my own rides on strava for my own goals and aims. I like to track my total distance and push myself on key segments. Or race home from work in personal best times. I actually have a lot of private segments on strava as I'm not that interested how I fair against other riders.

I couldn't carless what others do, say or claim. At the end of the day team sky are not knocking on my door and nor are they speaking to those that make wild claims so chances are neither me or them can be that good so who really cares if they can back up their claims or not.

I log my rides on RWGPS, but I keep many of them private. All the same I get mightily hacked off if I have a battery failure or a brain fart and miss out on recording some of the ride. And there's only me involved. What's the matter with me? Don't I trust me?

I take all the ride info' written on here or mentioned face to face as the truth.

No need to be cynical about other's achievements.

Oh believe me, there is every need to be cynical. How very dare anybody try to claim a 6 mile commute, they didn't do. How VERY DARE ANYBODY claim to have ridden round a park, with their family, that they didn't. Massive baw bags, all of them.

Well you haven't provided a link to Strava, so that clearly didn't happen.

If you are that desperate to check you can always look on Strava yourself

I've never seen the point in cheating (at least not at my level, for elite athletes who might win a lot of money or kudos I can sort of see an angle for why, not that I respect it) and if I do well, I want to be pleased that I did it, not that I needed drugs or some computer program to boost my times. I'm not that much of an angel though.... I will admit to cycling along one segment whilst knowing that I had a really strong tail wind, but I had also been out battling the head winds that day anyway!

I ride every day but only a few miles. I don't record it as it would be pretty boring but I definitely ride it.

I'm going on holiday to Elevenerife this year. How about you lot?

 

[Brandane]

Sometimes I use my Garmin on a ride, sometimes I don't bother.
Sometimes I download the ride, sometimes I don't bother.
Sometimes I wear a h***et, mostly I don't bother.
Sometimes I ride my bike, sometimes I don't bother.
etc. etc..

That's all well and good and every credit to you but... how are you going to improve on that next year?

I log my rides on garmin and mycyclinglog (don't use the garmin for commute hence manually using mycyclinglog) for my benefit only. My garmin profile is set to private. Couldn't give a shite about strava and whether I'm faster or slower than some random cyclist I've never met.

Well if no one can see your stats then it didn't happen... oh hold on..

Riding with a tailwind (whether on Strava or not) is the rare reward which is only acheived if you're prepared to battle the elements on a regular basis and you should never feel guilty about it

Even better if it helps you get a storming time on a segment mind.

Riding the leafy lanes of essex the other day and some other cyclist shot past me without acknowledging me(well i know you don't have to and i am just your ordinary old git cyclist).Anyway i thought to myself "look at that wannabe pro in his full movistar kit".When i got back home and looked up my stava flybys that wannabe pro was actually.....alex dowsett
