Silly STRAVA Racing

[400bhp]

I wrote a small program to send all my TCX files to strava using their web api, but unless you have a Linux[*] machine with Ruby installed it probably isn't much use to you

[*] A mac would be just as good, I am assured, but I don't know a lot about macs

Unfortunately not, no. I'm doing some manually, but will await a reply off Strava.

Just put them back on your garmin... that is what I did with 2 years worth of rides.. only took a few hours to upload.

I can't remember how much data my old 305 can handle but its not much,its beeping full again and I think the rides only go back to December 2011.

It only took me 3 tries to do it all.

The more ride history you store on it, the longer it takes to upload to both strava and garmin, make sure you keep it clean

I manually uploaded Jan/Feb 12 rides last night - managed to bag a KoM - the previous KoM must be wondering what is going on

Log one ride at 88mph which ends abruptly - He'll work it out

I've noticed you are on quite a few of the segments I have done - you must do a few rides around S Manc.

Aye. I cycle from Stockport to Altrincham and back each day and on days like today I ride with the wife to her work in Salford then back down to Alty.

Just followed you on Strava

 

[400bhp]

Followed back.

Looks like you (or your work) aren't too far away from me. If you're ever free on sat morn, get yourself out on a ride. I ride most saturdays (early) and looks like we're seeing the start of some small group rides going on saturday too.

Definitely up for that - Any excuse to get the bike out Usually ride around Knutsford/Tatton Park when I'm just out for a weekend ride. Going that way with the Manchester Wheelers this weekend too Planning on getting a Strava PB down Tatton Wall

I kept all of my garmin history on my computer as a backup. So all I had to do was copy them back across to my garmin and then do the upload process.

Thanks-but is there a specific folder on the garmin they need to go into? History folder?
