    Anybody any idea what to do about an uploaded ride not appearing on dashboard. Its after just vanishing but todays uploaded normal. Thanks

    Have yet to receive my Garmin, but I presume its possible to store a copy of each file on your computer, so that in the event of something like this happening, that you can just re upload from your computer?

    I'm new to this forum and new to cycling, so trying to learn as I go myself :)

    25th in climbing - I'm not a big fan of the hills, prefer fast & flatish.

    On Strava segment creation, one of my buddies wrote a post about it a while ago... A few simple things that helps to create good quality and safe segments... (i.e. if there is a descent segment, don't stop it right at the T junction, stop it back a bit so no one will be tempted to drill it to the line).

    His post is here: http://djconnel.blogspot.com/2011/08/strava-segment-creation-suggestions.html

    Can anyone just join these Strava clubs? I'm out on the bike with a Garmin, but I wouldn't normally be doing too much climbing, just looking to put miles down while in the saddle, although I did go up Howth Hill for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

    Absolutely, you dont need to be in a Strava club though to start logging or hittting segments etc in Strava. I think you can join any club though, boards.ie being the best :cool:

    So, the details of the new challenge ...
    strava wrote:
    Gear up for some serious climbing to celebrate (and suffer) the Spring Classics.

    Riders, do you think you can climb the cumulative elevation of five Spring Classics in 45 days? Do you think you can do it not just once, not twice, but three times? Now is your time to find out. Specialized and Strava challenge you to climb a grand total of 105,312 feet from March 15 to April 30.
    The Classic courses may be better known for their distances or questionable pavement, but here are the cold, hard, climbing facts:

    Milan-San Remo - 6,260 feet
    Tour of Flanders - 5,709 feet
    Paris-Roubaix - 3,259 feet
    Liège–Bastogne–Liège - 10,883 feet
    Amstel Gold - 8,993 feet

    Do you have what it takes? If so, a custom Specialized and Strava commemorative water bottle and surprise finisher gift is yours if you can climb this set of Spring Classics three times, not to mention the gargantuan bragging rights you’ll earn. This challenge is going to take some serious guts, but you'll get some serious glory. Good luck to all!

    32,000m climbing in 45 days! I certainly won't be hitting that target!

    All that climbing for a...................water bottle ??!! :eek: they're taking the piss :pac:, or is there a missing word there:
    a custom Specialized bike
    !

    Anyways I looked up my 'climbing' for last year (365days), and it was 63,000m, so............to do it in 45 days, I think I'll rent a caravan and move to Ballyduff !

    No, Plastik is correct, 105,312 feet = 32,099 metres.

    Haven't a hope myself, but that's the target.

    It's doable. 1,250m per spin, 4 spins per week with a fifth spin every second week, will give you 33,750m of climbing.

    A good well-planned 4 hour spin through Wicklow will get you 1250m of climbing.

    Of course when I say "doable", I mean, "If you have no job and nothing to do but ride and recover".

    15km a day doing repeats of a 10% hill. Easy peasy.

    You just need to live on that hill.
