Default Strava app..

Been using this for around 12 months now, great for your cycling or running logs.

They had a Challange ride this weekend so decided to join it. 79 miles in one ride, decided to switch it up abit and not only ride road. Also off road, hit the term "bonk" that riders use @ 60 miles in. Had to rest and have a butty.

Was good to get back on it.

Started using it when I got my bike, but some mates got me to switch to http://www.endomondo.com/home

Much better imo, can't say i'd ever be doing that sort of miles though 5-10 is enough for me in one go

nice work

Thanks Dan, tried Endomondo but it wouldn't work on my old phone with the music working.

The new S3 however lets me listen to music as well as using Strava.

Keep it up on the bike, winter is here and imo it is the best time to ride.

Sure Dave, joined a group local to you called Palefish. They ride on a Tuesday and Thursday. They meet at the 12th man in Greasby at 7.30pm welcome to join us.

Have a look on facebook and all the details are on there.

I agree on the app losing signal. Only happened on my old galaxy S.

Got a few KOM's, West Kirby to Neston via the Wirral way in 25 mins. Absolutley battered it.

Will be riding from bromborough to join, be there about 7.15.

Hopefully it will be a mild ride as the last one worked out at a 2hr blast then had a 6mile ride back!

90 miles in one ride fair play that's going some. I keep thinking about getting a road bike.

Same here, will be keeping on the On One C456 for the near future.

Tyres dragged a little bit hence the avg speed was slow
