I promise you Strava, a 2.7km loop of the Ahmed Bin Ali stadium car park is not my favourite segment. It was just the segment least likely to end in Land Cruiser fatality, as the road was deserted except on a footy night.

Just to tell you who shakes their phone and gives kudos to everyone, everyday, 
and to summarise your stats. You can do in Garmin connect, TP, interval icu etc in seconds, a minute if you are a bit slow and want make it look pretty, ask Gemini, Claude to make it look pretty.
They really are morons over at strava. They couldnt make money out of a stream with 500g gold nuggets. They would probably try and sell the smooth stones and pebbles instead. Bad analogy but you get the gist.

Just noticed a nice little visualisation of bike power data. Apologies if everyone knows about this already, but I haven’t seen it before.
It shows your best power across durations, overall and recent. Then if you drill down you get % gradings for people of your age group, sex and weight
I’m 31% grade for sprint 
but about 70% for longer durations.
The worrying thing here is seeing how much my fitness is down at the moment… the relative sizes of the 2 purple circles says it all 
Maybe there’s truth in that theory that you actually have to do some training.

Yeah, I’d seen it but hadn’t noticed the comparison stuff against others. Mine was a bit skewed from when my power meter went bonkers, I tried removing the rides or data but haven’t checked if it’s updated.

W/Kg would be more helpful, most of my numbers are higher but I still get smashed 
Yet fruity put out a much quicker Cots bike from being aero as well.
It still has its place.

I’m sure it’s probably been mentioned here before so apologies for not reading the whole thread.
I think Strava needs to sort its localisation out a bit as it still seems to use the USA as a reference for how far people might want to travel.
I’ve just been having a browse and it recommended a segment near me that I might want to try to get on the leaderboard for, around the Fort William Area.
I’m South London based so unlikely to be a doable detour on my next ride.

You haven’t been doing any virtual riding or running? I think that’s why it’s recommended me do a few weird things in the past.

Yeah, I’ve had route recommendations in NY and Scotland after riding Zwift courses there

Only on TrainerRoad and a couple of treadmill runs due to the weather, though mostly outside.

Just noticed, did my 4000th activity on Strava. A very uninspiring 3km plod with Mrs FT at 7 mins/km, around a housing estate in the dark yesterday evening after work.
