Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Edwardoka]

I used to love attacking segments on Strava, my two favourites are on Arran - the 5 mile stretch from just before Machrie to Imachar is a PERFECT time trial road, and the clockwise-lap-of-Arran from Catacol. Getting KOM on a 56 mile segment (admittedly, I was first out of 4 riders) was an awesome feeling right until someone smashed it by half an hour
Strava is now a great indicator of how crap I am, rather than how good I am.
Ages since I've had a trophy

Guys, who can tell me why my Garmin skips uploading some rides to Strava if I upload in batch?
They all appear present and correct on Garmin Connect, but then not on Strava.

Do they not appear in "my activities" ?

Not on Strava, only on Garmin Connect

Do you upload the manual files?

Happy third year anniversary between me and each and every one of you lovely people.

No, once they don't register I just leave it, and input the real milage on MCL manually.

I've never used Garmin Connect as the main source of truth for activities because I had problems getting it to sync everything with Strava. :-(

Similar here. One of the reasons I don't bother much with Strava any more is that the sync between Garmin connect and Strava keeps breaking down. Don't know how many times I had to re-install Garmin connect to get it to work. It seems ok for a week or two; then it's gone again..... Sometimes I can use the manual download option, sometimes I can't. Not worth the hassle IMHO..

 

[Col5632]

It's always worked fine with me, I just use the manual option at work as I can't install Garmin Connect here

 

[Louch]

I just install straight to strava as garmin connect was always rejecting files etc

Went over to do my annual spring check that Arran didn't wash away in winter. Glad to report all is well

I can't see any pictures, not on here not on the other place.
Who won? Not @Edwardoka I guess

I have loaded pics into my cycling 2016 album on the other place. I'll let @Edwardoka describe his day. I'm worn out from mine. Climbing Arran on a 28 cassette at my weight was brutal going
