Silly STRAVA Racing

[400bhp]

I could be wrong (I don't have a Garmin), but I think that you download a browser addon that connects Strava directly to your Garmin and ba da bing ba da boom.

Correct - Garmin communigator plugin. If Ian already has a garmin and uses Garmin connect/other gps logging system then he probably already ahs it.

Oh, and on that other site you enter your athlete code and the date range you want to cover and then whoooosh

 

[Andrew_Culture]

So to summerise - Garmin, Strava, ba da bing ba da boom then whoooosh.

Yup

Or usually - chug chug, splutter, splutter, brum brumm, whirr, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I might give that a whizz bang whirl then.

All I want is to see is all my routes on a map where I have ridden me bike.
None of the strava kom nonsense.

Can you make your rides & information on Strava private?

I am getting a bit fed up of all these sites/software. Sporttracks, Garmin Connect, Endomondo, Strava, Veloviewer, which all give a mish mash of data that can be useful/interesting, but none of them "do it all". It is getting tedius uploading to all of these sites and then updating veloviewer etc (although veloviewer is not much interest to me tbh as I don't really care for segment chasing, I mainly use Strava to view my times up actual climb's and for finding the data on other local climbs, and for social reasons)!

Indeed.
Am happy enough with Garmin Connect and MCL.
I just want a function where I can see all my rides on the one map.

Don't log on them then.

Um, er, then don't? Am I missing some subtlety in your post?

Awaits to see how many "armchair KoM's" are gained from an historical upload.

And, yes you can put privacy settings on (including putting an invisibility cloak around your house), although they are not that private if you know what you are doing.

Oh, if you want to avoid Strava just import your GPX (or whatever) files into a private Google Map.

 

[Rob3rt]

I was just having a bitch, as prompted by your comment about veloviewer being the next thing for Ian to do.

The problem is all of the sites provide some useful data, but none of them get it all right. It would be great to get it all in one place. Or a site such as veloviewer acting as a hub to upload once, it then feeds all your data into these separate sites and then pulls back the useful info.

And I can then add to the mapping site?
Sorry for the geeky questions.
Would be handy if I could avoid Strava.

Nah, you won't need to bother, you'll already have all your rides on a map.
