Just a small sidenote on the above - the baro alt is also affected by the passage of weather systems etc. Atmospheric pressure (at any given point) is not consistent.

Echo what Silver940 said above, it needs to be outdoor mileage to count, which is why my turbo mileage never counts on these challenges.

Not sure if it applies to you but manually entered or turbo rides won't count to the Monthly challenge.

Nailed it. My return leg from Brighton was manually entered after I forgot to un-pause it, which accounts for the ~65 mile differential.

Makes sense now that I think about it. Thanks, that'd been annoying me!

I'm having a problem uploading today's ride. The page sits with the message 'queued'. Anyone else having problems?

The ride has auto-up-loaded to the Garmin site OK so I know that it is not a corrupt file.

Is Strava just so popular now that the sunny afternoon has overloaded it with MAMILs downloading. There's an unpleasant picture!

All uploaded now. Must just have been a busy period for Strava.

Phew - a small group of people would have never known I'd gone faster than before up a very small lump near Knutsford

They were down for maintenance at 8am this morning, so assume just a blip

I always just use "correct data". Garmin elevation is more accurate according to some, yet sometimes it has be below sea level. Strava might be known to be inaccurate, but at least it's the same known inaccuracy as everyone else, not random inaccuracy

That's the thing - Strava data isn't the same to everyone across the board so it's not the same inaccuracy for everyone. I rode a 38 mile trip around the Test Valley with a mate, he's on the phone app, I'm on a Garmin 200. Exactly the same route at the same time. I think the route planner had it at around 2300ft elevation. My mate recorded half a mile less than me (stopped recording before the end of the loop) and had 2,120ft elevation. My elevation was similar before it was 'corrected' by Strava to 1,833ft... even though I did half a mile or so more! Weird eh

I use strave to correct every ride....at least its consistent.

I did notice my 500 showing negative readings when leaving my house, and upon investigation found out there were some bugs on the 500 release causing altitude issues.

This was quite an impressive day from a friend of mine: http://www.strava.com/activities/159335824

West Highland Way AND Great Glen Way in one ride!

Must have been the weekend for it, mate of mine was going for a 500k ride but had to cut short!

Chap I know - Always one for consistently knocking out big miles, but how's 2825k for the *week* grab you (and a new world record I believe)

Garmin 800 nav and performance bundle from wiggle, 210 quid. Job jobbed.

Decided to not bother with the nav function and ordered a 200 today, went into evans to buy it and they'd sold 3 today and run out, very annoying!
To upload from it to Strava is it just plug it into laptop, go to Strava and hit the import ride button?

[Dammit]

Broadly speaking, you'd need to download the Garmin plugin for your browser, but yes- plug it in, navigate to the upload page and away you go.

Jesus wept. 18.9 average over that distance, with 14000ft of climbing!

Looks like everyone smashed out the big miles last weekend, I got knocked from a top 100 on the gran fondo down to 250ish...

People have ridden further in a week though, but can't claim the "record" retrospectively.
But that said, Bruce is always smashing massive rides and with big average speeds too.
