A couple of my riding mates and I were chatting about how we have distanced ourselves from Strava over the last year or so, has anyone else? Don’t get me wrong, I think Strava did a hell of a lot to motivate,create social scenes and generally motivate us in the past few years and I’m not slating th…

Still on Strava and still use it but cancelled my Premium subscription this year. Not worth it for what you pay. I’m betting a lot of people have cancelled their premium sub.

A few years ago when I was poaching KOMs on my untrained single speed it was fun…just to see what I could do…how I stacked up… Now that I’m doing TR and racing again, Strava just seems kinda pointless (not to mention all the jokers pulling lame cheats to bag KOMs…really?).

It does turn in to a sea of TR and Zwift rides through the winter in Canada but I don’t look at it too often when those apps auto-up…

Since I ride a number of MTB loops repeatedly I like using Strava to see how my fitness and skills are doing.

Anyone else switching off from Strava..?
