Finding a Buddy

nacnudsmada

Hi all,
Ive just started riding to work, while on my little trip this morning i was wandering if there is a way of finding out who else is riding to work at the same time on the same route or close to it - ish route.

does anyone know if there is a site or is it just a case of chasing someone down!

I ride form Stanley common to Derby most days but and possible Long Eaton to Derby

What say you?

Strava Flyby would be tailor made. Assuming it's widely used enough on your commute

Look out for a loony popping out either at Sawley Marina and heading to Kegworth or sometimes down the A6005 from Attenborough - it'll be me. I loop the longer way 'round a few times. I'll be on my Felt (black frame, white decals)

As above though: strava shows you people around at the same time

Actually you may also see my mate passing through Long Eaton on the way to / from Draycott, he's on his Tricross at the moment.

I'd like to do this but, whenever I try any of my activities, the map just centres on somewhere in the south of Oregon and, when I hit the play button, it does nothing but displays NaN:NaN:NaN under the timer.

Whats up?

Dunno, works fine for me with one of your rides. I think it's you anyway

(am using Chrome on Win8 btw, incase you're trying to view it on a Kindle or something)

That's probably it - the PCs at this place seem considerably less capable than the average kindle sometimes.

I was concerned that the Nan Nan Nan bit was a description of each of the people that scalped me...

Did I fly-by anyone this morning then? (I remember a chap on a mtb, wearing a bin bag, but didn't see a garmin on his bars)

You neither flew nor crawled past anyone this morning.

Thanks. (Locked down too tight for that).

But I now discover it works perfectly well on my phone, which is nice.

Sorry for thread hijack, OP - as you were.
