Try veloviewer instead, it drags all your info from strava but is far more useful imho. The segments are largely irrelevant and you can pretty much ignore them.



Apologies for the crap picture but hopefully you get the idea.

Don't expect your score to go up rapidly, it's a long slow process

VeloViewer looks quite good, current score is 81.49, I assume that means there aren't many pros riding the routes I do.

The 3d of rides and segments is a nice gimmick, more time to be wasted looking at data rather than accumulating it!

I use Veloviewer a lot these days as well.
A mountain of data of all kinds to waste time with.
My Veloviewer score is 78 something - obviously no good riders on the off-road routes I use then!

most of my cycle commute is along one of the main trunk roads into and out of the other side of birmingham.

plenty of fast riders with panniers etc that make me look like im standing still lol

How do you mean? For looking at segments I think VV is a much better resource.

The scoring system offers far more value than a simple leaderboard. i.e. 8/1000 is better than 1/100

That depends on the riders,just because fewer people went through a segment doesn't mean anything.

Oooh... A csv button....

Has Strava stopped sending the 'someone's nicked your KOM' eMails? I had 28 KOM's last week, now down to 22 but have not had any notifications.......

Sadly I seem to have attracted the attention of a young lad locally who does short 'smash'n'grab' type rides and keeps targeting my KOM's!! Although I only have a handful of KOM's I do have quite a few top 10 places and he seems hell bent on beating me on all of those as well.......I think he may have come along to a club ride I lead earlier this year and now sees me as a worthy target - if only he knew!!

Edit; after looking on Veloviewer it seems someone has been flagging loads of segments in and around my area as hazardous recently - including Streatley Hill! Either they are a typical internet troll, bitter because they are ste on a bike and therefore don't want their time to appear on segments where they do really badly, or should just stay in bed because stepping outside of their house is considered a hazard!

I used to commute in London, so I think the number of people doing a segment, and me sometimes getting a clean run through at 6 am may have helped my score.

It's going to be interesting to work out what segments to target improvements on in order to increase the score though.

Just uploaded a lot of my Strava rides to Veloviewer. It only loaded 140 out of 173 rides stating "API limit reached" whatever that means!

My score is 94.55. No idea what that means though. Will have a play tomorrow - I'm quite into stats / numbers.

[Grandfondo]

I downloaded my stuff to Veloviewer but can't see anything!

[Johnny]

OK, so Veloviewer has got better since last I used it.

Score of 80.67

Will have play with it while I'm working today.

[Fourmotion]

Boom !

Veloviewer is only allowed to skim so much info from Strava at a time to prevent placing too much strain on the Strava servers, wait a while then load again.

94.55 is bloody good!
