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?
You'll pleasantly surprised them, 200 has nav, it doesn't have maps but it will get you where you want to go unless you're a complete spanner.To upload from it to Strava is it just plug it into laptop, go to Strava and hit the import ride button?

The record is still open for challenge but not for entry in the Guinness Book of Records, whose editors say further attempts would be too dangerous.
Wiki is not the only source that says Tommy Godwin's Guinness World Record is final. You cannot be prevented from attempting it, but to discourage the foolhardy, Guinness will not recognise any further attempts to break his record.

Really? seems pointless actually having a record if no one is 'allowed' to break it.thiscocks said:

If you ride further in a year than TG, or whatever your specific attempt, then, provided you can demonstrate that you didn't cheat, it's the 'definitive' record, surely. What difference does it make whether the Guinness chap is there or not. Blazer, Brogues and a certificate do not a record make
And like I said, there's nothing stopping anyone from breaking the record, it's just that Guinness World Records Inc. (or whatever they call themselves) refuse to have anything more to do with it.

If Guinness are anything like the UCI, you would have to do it on a bike identical to Goodwin's, wear period cycling clothing, no gels, no energy drinks, just steak and Guinness pies and water....
Sorted that out for you How accurate is the max speed part on strava? Was out for a cycle today and it claimed highest speed of 53.5mph. Was coming down from around 1000 feet climb over 10 to 12 miles. Felt quick but not that quick. Friend I was out with got 36 but we were spreading out large sections we were a fair distance apart. Purely out of interest was wondering how reliable it was.
