    Jesus, I clicked this link and it's horrible!!

    a) there are now 411 members of 410

    b) they have now included a wonderful feature where we'll be compared to Mr S every time we log in

    Some spoilsport joined in the past hour or so. They should be ceremoniously beaten with mini-pumps.


    The most disturbing aspect of the new layout is that we can see that 372 boardsies haven't registered a ride today yet! :eek:

    Tut, tut.

    I think everytime someone joins the group, we should kick out the person who's in the no. 1 spot.

    Eventually, over time, we'd all get to feel the thrill of being top of the heap for a short while.

    I can just picture it now - "hey man, I'd love to get a KOM here, but this hill's been AltAccounted"

    Sweeeeeet.

    We'd be like special editions. Lauded for being different, but it would be quietly acknowledged that we're not quite as good as the original.

    At least Mr Sherlock doesn't seem to join the Strava challenges. If we were to kick out the top people in those myself and Jawgap could find ourselves homeless!

    Given how close to sea level the coast road is along there I'd say this wasn't that inaccurate!? I've heard far worse stories (and experienced worse myself!). On long cycles in the rain I've seen my Garmin go off by well over 100m!

    I've had a few issues myslef but some of the runs recorded around here of late are bananas, -250m to 50m in 2-3km?! There is even a cat 4 climb on a downhill piece of road :pac:

    Note that if you leave a warm house and head out without allowing the GPS to cool down to outside ambient you'll get silly readings for awhile as well.

    I don't get why any cycling GPS doesn't use the satellites to work out elevation. It's picking up enough of them to calculate it rather than rely on a pressure sensor

    GPS altimeters are rubbish. If you find any segments with elevation profiles that don't tally with reality, send the URL to Strava support and they'll recalculate the elevation or delete the segment.

    You can do it yourself. Click on the Elevation? link on the ride page and it will correct the elevation.

    Bloody miserable out there this morning. My feet were soaked through in the first 5k and I couldn't warm up but kept at it regardless. I had intended to do 100k but had enough at 90.

    Elevation?
    That corrects the elevation of your ride if you're not happy with the elevation from a barometric altimeter. It doesn't do anything for the segments you rode.

    I went through a segment recentlyand my Garmin 500 registered it as 1445 metres (my biggest climb to date). I was with a few other who travelled the same route and they registered 1775 metres (mixture of Garmins and smart phones. I was going to click the correct button but am half afraid it may reduce it. (...as I see R Sherlock's biggest climb is 38m).

    Hitting the 'correct elevation' button will change the elevation for your effort, all right, but if you go to the segment page the data can still be wonky, which messes up climb categorisation and stuff like Veloviewer

    He's doing well on that considering he set his time 5 years ago - long before there was any segment there or almost anywhere. Well done BTW. :)
