Strava Help!!

No, @si_c is right, you can't directly export a gpx, but you can create a route from anyone else's ride, and then get the gpx from that**.

But an useful alternative is using the Strava route builder. https://www.strava.com/routes/new It creates routes using popularity, so it will find you roads that cyclists choose, so generally you can be happy with the conditions. I raved about it a couple of years ago.

**I bet this option becomes premium once the route build goes out of beta.

Unfortunately, the export to route option was not available for me on that activity, which is incredibly annoying. However I did find a nice strava labs tool which let me create the GPX file.

See http://labs.strava.com/gpx-to-route/ worked a treat, saved the activity to me routes, and I was able to download from there. If a non-premium user can check if it works for them, might be worth keeping in mind for the future.

You can create routes and export them using strava no problem, in fact their routing tool is quite good I've found. I pay for premium because I like the additional features such as heatmaps and so on. If you send me the activity you want the route for though I'm quite happy to download a GPX for you.

Good spot, I have not seen this before - HOW DID I MISS THIS!

That works if you find a route on RWGPS, but if the route you want is on strava, it's not a huge help unfortunately.

You can just plot a new one - takes a matter of minutes (certainly if you're just replicating a route that you can already see on Strava. And you can access streetview from the ridewithgps map page.

Yup, works for me. Thanks, useful.
