Show us your.......newbie progress! [4 Sep 2012 - 4 Oct 2014]

[Mo1959]

@Mo1959 try loading one of your rides to rwgps and see I bet you would possible get another 15-30%, though as lot of your riding is climbing it might not be so much.

Yep, 200 plus feet on most rides. One or two quite a bit more, but I presume if you transfer the ride to Strava from there it will still do it's own thing and reduce it?

This is a nice new feature coming up on strava.

You can see who those people were you past by, or got scalped by

I've just spent the last hour at work watching myself riding around a map, must resist and get back to doing what I get paid for!

I've just upload a ride to ridewithgps and it also gave me 200 feet more than Strava

The ridewithgps elevation looks wrong, it has you going to -376 feet at one point

That was when I was wearing my snorkel. Lol. It is getting to the stage I don't think I trust any of them to get it right!

I've decided I don't care about elevation

It's more irritating than anything really. The only time it would be a pain is doing a climbing challenge. Sometimes I think phone apps seem to give you better figures too for some reason. Keep meaning to do a ride one day and record it on both my Edge 200 and try the Strava app on the phone as well just to see.

I've just uploaded another ride to ridewithgps and it had errors in the elevation, there is an option if you go edit the ride to have it re check the elevation and it looks like it has corrected it

There is another climbing challenge on Strava, 7000 odd feet in five days sometime in May

Yes, I noticed that. I'll see how I feel nearer the time. Feeling a bit dead-legged at the moment.

http://ridewithgps.com/trips/2529473?privacy_code=XNaeeEZ1YmNSoNLv That looks better now that I have clicked to correct it. Still a bit higher than Strava but closer. Around 200 feet.

@Mo1959 thats much more like I expect you to be doing, for there only to be 5ft/mile between you and me when I look at my rides is so wrong. Try this make one a segment for the whole of your ride and I bet its closer to rwgps. I did export one of mine from garmin connect that I had uploaded from the tcx file exported from the bryton and it still was only about the same as bryton said (they tend to be very similar). Its worth a go Mo.
Well the two days yesterday and to day couldn't be much closer in performance and elevation ect.. (these are daily totals 2 rides each day, I joined the two today, as i was away from home), @Mo1959 these were exported from garmin and strava as given me 1004ft bryton gives a total of 898 for the two rides, rwgps 1328ft,
So I guess it might work Mo,
Just correct the elevation, to late @Supersuperleeds pointed you there, Chris, I did note last year that when you correct a file from a fit format, you do tend to get some spikes as in peaks and troughs.

The ridewithgps elevation looks wrong, it has you going to -376 feet at one point

its when I cant correct those I worry, only 172ft above sea level 4 miles away its 30ft.

@Nigelnaturist this is the problem I get with my elevation data when I allow the Edge 500 to go to sleep. Apparently I went as low as -37m (not as good as @Mo1959 ) and went from 40m to 89m without my parents home moving (their home is right on the 90m contour line according to Ordnance Survey). So I recon the entire first 40km of this ride are at the wrong elevation.

Seems too much for where I live
