Strava question?

[CBone]

Do you need to have a paid account to create a segment? We did some trail building today and the guy that usually creates the segments could not do it.

 

[bvader]

Nope... Should be able to with normal account... Unless something changed

 

[Derkderkall]

Nope
I made one a few weeks ago on mtt..

 

[mtnbikej]

Nope

I hope it is at least several mins long at a minimum. Can't stand people that create segments that are under a minute long.

It's about 5 miles I think.... From the end of the singletrack at the fireroad to the bottom gate.
They only similar one I could find was either from the actual road or ending at the creek bed.

I think they tightened that up, as segments now have to be X distance or Y time or some minimum.

A minute for you could be a long time for someone else!

But you see segments that at 10 seconds long, then you have 4000 riders all bunched up in that 10 seconds....what does it really tell you?

That the riders need to not show up all at the same time. And the parking lot must be huge!

How do you post a photo here of a Strava ride with the map and elevation profile and the details?

That doesn’t get the details. I’m looking for something like this:

@Runs with Scissors , what’s your secret?

@Runs with Scissors , what’s your secret?

That's what I posted, using Windows' built-in "Snipping Tool." I think it saves as a .jpg file by default.

As they have said, that's a screenshot from a computer... Easy on a Mac. "Command-shift-3". "shift-command-4" if you want to select only a portion of the screen. Unlike unix users, Windows users waited a decade or two for a screenshot functionality, but I think it's finally there... I just don't know the Windows shortcuts anymore.

I think he's putting some secret sauce on his nuggets lately...

My screenshot couldn’t get the map and stats and profile on the monitor in one page.

That’s it dood. I toyed with it and can’t figure it out.

Good to see that the Squiggle Bug is representing so well out there. Nice work, DDD.

Zoom out... On a Mac, it's "Command -". It's probably something similar on Windows.

I posted your Stoddard DH KOM screenshot in the "I rode..." thread.

 

[Runs with Scissors]

It's not a screenshot. It's a size-able capture of a portion or all of the screen as a .jpg, using the tool called out earlier. If you're using Windows, of course. If you're not, well, then you'll have to do something else.

Thanks for the tech tip.

Thanks for the tech tip.

I would say "any time," but you might take me up on it.

Thanks Bug. The Amazon is making it possible. I love the Squiggle Bug and think of you and @mike every time we frolic.

For windoze computers:
Screenshot shortcut is "Windows-shift-s" then highlight the area you want
Ctrl and scroll wheel on your mouse will zoom the screen display

(sorry if I'm teaching you how to suck eggs btw)

I’ve done lotsa things on a computer, but boast about my Strava DH times just doesn’t seem to come naturally to me.
Thanks for your input. I was looking for a button on the Strava webpage, but the round-about way is the method after all.

There is an export feature on the phone version of Strava, but it doesn't give you all the details you're looking for... @UPSed uses that one often.

As I mentioned in another thread, STRAVA told me "Congrats! You just logged your biggest climb (1598')."

Well I don't like climbing as much as others do, so I have no idea what this statistic means. I have done rides on STRAVA with over 4000 total feet of climbing. And I'm reasonably sure I've done at least one ride with more than 1598' of sustained climbing (Maple Springs if not Wrightwood). My run up STT yesterday was mostly all climbing for about 2000' but there were some DHs breaking up the climbing. I can't think of any segment yesterday that had 1598' of climbing with no DH breaking it up.

So can anyone explain this stat to me and how it is derived?
