I used to, years ago, but the technology was beyond me. I’ve stuck with my sextant and see no reason to change....

Ive used Strava for the last few months - a word of warning.... You will get a message telling you that you’ve just completed your longest distance using Strava. All well and good, until you try to better your distance the next time, then SWMBO is asking where the hell you’ve been for the past 4 hours. Being able to show her, using Strava, doesn’t seem to be the answer she’s looking for.

I bought myself a sundial wristwatch with glow in the dark numerals so I can read it at night.

If someone is telling you Strava costs £45 a month you should have words. I pay that a year

Sorry but... if you lift your head up and out of that paper bamboozle you'll find a perfectly good signpost - home = left, three furlongs

Great photo btw

My all time favourite guidance system. You cannot get lost withlost et l with one of these and a O/S map. Still a lot around here.

You can also upload photos so you have a pictorial record of your ride.

One quirk of Strava is that I *think* you have to take the photos with the phone on which you were recording the ride. You can't upload photos that you took with, say, your digital camera. That may not be 100% correct but I remember that there was some restriction when I tried it out.

With RideWithGPS you just go to the ride on the website and click add photos and you can add any pics that are accessible on your PC. Or you can do it using the app on your phone if you used the app and took pics with your phone.

You can just open the Strava app after the ride has uploaded and edit the ride to add photos manually.

But I found that if my photos were on an SD card I couldn't upload them from the PC/web I suppose I could somehow transfer them to my phone and upload them with the app. Or was I just being dense?

Upload them using Strava.com website on your PC/Laptoptop.

Same log in details as the App on your phone
