Half my club are doing strava now and its seems pretty consistent on segments that were done in peleton (all riders have the same rime or they are within a second) but our rides tend to be in the rural environment. I think once you with buildings/ inclement weather/ varying aerial quality results can be pretty variable.

This is how my Cat 6 Racer's Excuse from yesterday morning looks on Race Shape (I'm the red line, my local rival is the blue line, the upstart segment-bagger is the pink line):

You can see exactly where I lost it. Still, as Andy Schleck knows only too well, you can't blame mechanical glitches...
No excuses this morning, and it felt like I went well, but I'll have to wait until I get home to upload the data and see exactly how well I went.

How about a winners jersey? Yellow's a bit much but I do like polka dots. That's settled then, white with big red dots will do it. And podium girls at the office when you arrive.

That would be awesome, chasing down a pack of ghost riders, or watching everyone pass you as the road gets steeper

Is there anyway of mass downloading all my old rides from garmin connect?
So I can mass upload them to strava

Unfortunately not - the only way is to go into them individually. Best way I thought to do it was to go into Activities in Garmin connect and filter a month at a time. Then (importantly) right click on each ride and open in a separate tab (the back button doesn't work the way you want it to) and export.
Then the easiest way to upload is to stick the history onto your garmin gps and upload to Strava.
I did this for 18 months worth of rides since I had my Garmin-probably 500 or so rides. Took a while
I felt it was worth it (well I would wouldn't I) not least because I now have the historic files on my laptop.
Perhaps the most interesting stats are the segments I have done before I knew about Strava. It gives a broad feel of how you are cycling in the real world so to speak.
Well, I'm hooked now. I've been a lurker on this thread and on Strava for a while now, but just switched from a hybrid to a new road bike. Wow, what a difference! Got a KOM on the first ride, but it doesn't seem real given that some guy on the same route came blasting past me. Bit like if a tree falls in a forest, if someone toasts me on a segment, but they're not on Strava, then it didn't happen.
... the stalking begins.

I think you can bulk up load if you email them but I've never tried.

You can, however they don't accept zip files which means it's a PITA when you have a lot of files.

I believe so, it's getting the buffers down from Garmin connect that's the pain tbh
