…AKA the new Strava Bitching Thread. :crazy_face: [image] Strava lands $110 million Series F financing According to Strava, this financing will allow the company to build wish-list features, improve existing technology, and expand to provide service to more users. …

I was fortunate to start using TrainingPeaks from the beginning, and simply download an annual zip file with all uploaded data.

Just download it all from Strava lol. It’s like two clicks

Yes, but with filenames that don’t match the ride names. You get it ‘all’, but not in a format that is straightforward to use directly or import to another service. Not being able to find rides by names going back years is a big pain.
