Strava Boards.ie Club

Yes, another Strava thread!

I see there's a club on there for Boards.ie, would be good to get a few more people listed

daragh_ · 28-09-2011 11:47am

Any idea if you can upload .csv files to Strava?

Plastik · 28-09-2011 11:56am

Don't have a conclusive answer for that. If you want to upload a file from your laptop it says file formats supported are .gpx, .tcx and .fit.

daragh_ · 28-09-2011 12:01pm

Ta. Will have a rummage around the support forums.

stuck with my phone for the foreseeable!

Plastik · 28-09-2011 12:19pm

I noticed something on there the other day about the site being both iphone and android compatible if you're rocking one of those OS's.

daragh_ · 28-09-2011 12:27pm

I've got the Strava App on my iPhone but have never used it. Mostly I use MapMyRide and Cyclemeter, with mixed results.

Cyclemeter lets you export your data as a CSV file. I was interested to see how Strava would interpret it, hence my question.

You'll just have to take my word that all my pre-strava spins were awesome, and that my decline in performance since is because I keep stopping to check my phone/have a cold/malicious headwinds/something else which I'll invent later.

cantalach · 28-09-2011 2:56pm

The Strava iPhone and Android apps are a bit sh1te. You'll get much better results with a Garmin.

daragh_ · 28-09-2011 3:05pm

I know. Sadly I'm skint.

I'm using Sports Tracker on a Symbian phone. It has auto uploads to sports-tracker.com but also exports gpx which suits mapmyride and strava etc. They have android and iphone apps too.

daragh_ · 28-09-2011 5:43pm

Got some GPX files out of Cyclemeter and managed to upload them into Strava.
The ones I exported from MapMyRide crashed and burned halfway through processing.

Still, it's pretty nifty. Today I've had the opportunity to examine in fine detail just how crap I am

I such a nervous descender. I may as well be walking down from the Sally Gap.

mfdc · 28-09-2011 7:26pm

Is the club set up as a cycling club, or does it even give that option? They updated it for running recently so I've been loading a lot of runs into it, would be wary of joining the club and having the "Recent Activity" thing be full of me on 8km plods.

Something's messed up with that contest, it tells me I've got 5000m climbing this year but my profile page says I've 12,000m. Hope it just takes a while to update.

Dubba · 28-09-2011 10:08pm

Everytime I hit the join button this happens:

We couldn't find the page you were looking for.

Please check to make sure you've entered the correct web address.
If you followed a link from another website, please report the problem and we'll do our best to fix it.
Go back to the previous page or return to dashboard.

experimenter · 28-09-2011 10:32pm

Always use Strava, and I've joined the club...

Dubba · 28-09-2011 10:33pm

Maybe try a different browser, I'm using Firefox and its loading the page no problem.

Plastik · 29-09-2011 9:05am

Heading for the Top50, another 128,000m needed!

You have to make sure that your club is set to boards.ie
I am a member of another club and it only added my metres after I changed it from that club to the boards.ie one.

Plastik · 29-09-2011 9:48am

It doesn't seem to update immediately either so it may take a short while for your name to appear.

Jawgap · 29-09-2011 11:41am

#59 now.

only 11 in the competition but 40 in the group - if you're in the group, click on "compete" and add yourself to the competition - as Tesco says - "Every lilttle helps!"

ryan_sherlock · 29-09-2011 11:45am

haha, for the men overall I'm still #3 http://app.strava.com/komchallenge/men/overall

I won the competition in January (GC helped) but to win every month is WAY too much climbing during the season!
