Silly STRAVA Racing

[gaz]

Where is that function Gaz?

If you view your profile then it's one of the tabs along the top. Or go here http://www.strava.com/athlete/heatmaps

 

[gaz]

The information was already out there via another website. I suspect they just bought the rights/employed the geezer that set it up?

What use is it? It's a bit of fun, a la STRAVA

I think two other services where offering it. John o'keffe (sp) and veloviewer.

It looks pretty and thats enough
Gaz you need to venture south of the A25 more!

It was on Raceshape but

Warning: this service will soon be shutting down. Personal Heatmaps are now part of Strava Premium.

John Okeefe has sorted out his differences with Strava and can now do the maps thing again. So if you want maps, then no need to pay a premium.

Someone has set up a new segment on my homeward commute, first time I've noticed it today and I'm 4th of over 1600 people 2 seconds behind fellow/former CC'er Willhub.

Somebody has set up a stupid one on my outward commute. I'm second, my firsts thoughts were 'how' I go through there deliberately at a snail pace; then I discovered I was 2 of 2. I hope nobody goes for it, it's a pretty daft segment; actually I might flag it

Edit just checked and I'm now 4th of 4th

I know the 3rd place rider and he's sensible too

Tell me about it, Once I get my new bike fitted (end of the month) then I'll be taking some longer rides further a field.

You will be overtaking 400bhp if you guys still bother looking at Strabbaranks.

Hee hee, haven't bothered for ages since it changed, don't like the look of it now, and it's more difficult to find my friends/rivals/stalkers with the new layout

 

[Spartak]

Veloviewer rating upto 90.41

 

[ianwoodi]

why is my rating higher than you at 92.97 when you have a lot more kom and podiums is it the segment count

 

[uclown2002]

Veloviewer rating 95.86 whatever that means

 

[Matthew_T]

Managed to improve mine to 90.45.

Top pos score is 99.83 (1st out of 595)

It is an estimate, but I find it always under calculates quite a bit when compared to my GPS device (which I have an HRM hooked up to - but again even with an HRM it is a guesstimate).

I prefer to use Endomondo for the calories stuff (as I can sync it with FitBit and MyFitnessPal), it is not completely perfect, but always much closer to my GPS device than Strava is.

You might be fooling yourself. Strava always overestimates my rides. Garmin overestimates massively.
