I went back to the Strava app, but all it would show me was our ride time and our pace. Suddenly I was in the middle of unknown area of trails, and needed to get back to the car along the shortest route possible. I though we would knock out 5-6 miles, like we usually do – he barely made it 2. only Apollo was tired from a fun dog day on the farm. So while I was getting prepped, I did my usual of turning on Strava, and my dog Apollo and I hit the trails…. I made my way to an area of Mt biking trails that I had never been before. I have to admit, I did a couple rides this summer with no other intention than bettering my time on a couple climbs during a group ride.īut suddenly this weekend a glaring difference was found and now, I am mixed between the two apps and will keep both on my phone – but for totally different reasons! Get a PR or even best some of the riders in your area. This can be Fun, challenging and give you new goals to push yourself for. Then it will show you how you did on various climbs on a social network –, compared to others in your area that have done the same rides or climbs – whether or not you are following them. Then record your ride via GPS, once you finish and save the ride, it quickly uploads. You input some data about you and your bike (from which it will estimate your wattage). I found that I could take it off ‘satellite’ put it on ‘map’ mode it would download my location much faster.īut as the summer cycling season was starting to reach it’s peak and I was doing group road rides, I found Strava and started trying it out. MyTracks was very useful as I was learning some new Mt biking trails in North Georgia. I liked MyTracks for a long time, but to me it seemed to use too much of my battery (more on this later).
