Worst I've had was Ormiston to Musselburgh via the South Atlantic. I deleted the errant data point which lost me the whole ride mileage but gave me a load of awards which I couldn't delete. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9589#post-102340 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:44:12 +0000 ARobComp 102340@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I believe you can manually edit it.....? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9589#post-102321 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:31:36 +0000 Zenfrozt 102321@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ahhh okay :D it just threw me somewhat lol, I doubt I ever get much above 15mph ever really unless I'm going downhill. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9589#post-102318 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:27:24 +0000 TractorFactory 102318@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah, Strava sometimes has wee GPS hiccups. I've had it on occasion where it departs from the path I took, puts me in the middle of the Forth River, the puts me back on my path a couple of metres in front. It draws this wee spike angle into your route.</p> <p>When it calculates the distance and this average speed for the ride, the extra distance of the GPS hiccup, increases the average speed because it thinks you've travelled more distance than you actually have in the same time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9589#post-102317 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:17:34 +0000 Zenfrozt 102317@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Okay, so I finally got my hands on a smart phone and started using Strava to track my rides/commutes and all has been going well so far - it has mostly identified me as being a relatively slow rider. However my commute this morning along the water of leith seems to have clocked me at the quite frankly bizarre max speed of 41.9mph?! I think this highly improbable given I pootle along that path. Neither me nor Deliah are built for speed and even if we were - I wouldn't dream of doing that on a shared use path.<br /> Has anyone else experienced bizarre measurements from Strava? </p>
