Editing Strava

Think I know the answer to this already (a big fat no) but thought I would ask.

Went out tonight and had a bit of an eventful ride, stitch after 2 miles, cramp in the left calf at about 5 miles and then a comedy slow motion fall at a t-junction when I couldn't unclip (im blaming the cramp :wink: ).

When I got home I checked strava to find that it had missed about 6.5miles (10.4km to you metric folk) of the 22 mile journey, either that or I was doing a bit of cyclocross and a couple of river runs. Is it possible to edit the ride to the actual journey I took or just put it down to experience? I know its not a great distance missed but when i'm doing longer rides I would be a little pi***d if I got home to possibly find half of it missing.

    Delete the ride and add a new ride using a GPX file created from bikeroutetoaster.com or create a new activity manually and put in a the correct distance and time?

    Don't think you can do that as you have to have full data including speed etc. in the .gpx file.

    BRT puts a speed in though. You can change your average speed on the flat and your climbing speed (vertical metres per minute), ao with a bit of calculated trial and error, you can create a course with close to the same time that you did the ride in. The time of day will be wrong though as all the exported courses start at midnight and it would be a pretty big task to change the time of all the track points!

    here is an example of a BRT track point:
    <trkpt lat="46.95999" lon="7.27149">
        <ele>543</ele>
        <time>2012-05-24T00:00:04Z</time>
        <course>262.01599450385</course>
        <speed>8.32252811067983</speed>
      </trkpt>

    Interesting. I had a load of old data in Ride With GPS that I tried to move to Strava (just to keep a training record in one place) but couldn't as they were just recorded routes with a total time.

    Has anyone found a solution to when the gps is slightly out and it puts you a few meters off the road and hence won't match upto segments?

    I have the opposite problem.. Strava decided to put me onto a segment i didn't ride?!?! (well i did ride most of it... but replaced a 1 mile stretch with a 6 mile loop)

    and as such strava decided i had ridden the segment at an average of 13.5mph!

    Put a help request into their help desk, they'll match it up manually if it's not too far out. They're pretty good really.

    Mine tends to do exactly that, especially in fog or very overcast conditions. It's a little annoying.

    Thanks for the tip jim453 - seems an obvious approach now, but didn't occur to me to simply ask them :-)

    ALIHISGREAT - Just go back and do it properly and no one will know how slow you did it that time :-)
