Comparison is the thief of joy they say. Thinking about deleting strava to just focus on my training and trust the process for the upcoming season. Anyone else not use strava? And if not what app do you use to track your monthly and yearly stats?

I use it for a few things. My weekly climbing and mileage totals. A quick look back at weeks before events to see what I did in the past. To see what friends are doing that are too far away to ride with. Like my grand son. To give them a thumbs up for a nice ride. It’s not an app that I have to …

They send almost everything - including all comments, goals, support tickets, etc. There about 40 different CSV files with your d…

Got the response really quickly. Downloading at the moment. Interesting… 1.5 GIGS. Wow…

[image] Deleteme: And do, somewhat embarrassingly, get miffed if I don’t get kudos for some rides and workouts. I’m too invested in Strava when that starts happening. I guess I could go private and still follow those people I know to give them support, of just save my money. If it’s any conso…
