I'm getting ready to upload .fit file to Strava Manually through a PC, seriously doubt the servers will be back online today.

Entered. Will be pulling 3 kids along for 20km tomorrow.

So if GC is still down, how long will we have to upload the file directly to strava?

Not sure but I'm planning on tracking my ride directly on the Strava app on my phone.

20km+ Zwift ride for me, that goes directly to Strava at least.

ouzo, Jul 24 2020 10:09

always thought this was a Zwift race when I saw it pop up in various places, never looked into it.

I've entered, may just add a few extra km to my commute tomorrow or just go out after work and do a ride, will see how I feel in the morning.

I was feeling knackered on the ride home last night, so the plan was to take the next couple of days off the bike completely, so wont be doing both for sure.

Hopefully Garmin will be up and running by tomorrow

Did you record with a Garmin...?

Super Sywurm, Jul 25 2020 09:38

I did my fair share of 35km.

MphatiPyga, Jul 25 2020 10:32

Already have my ride confirmation from Versus, has to do a manual upload from Garmin. No 3 entries for 60km 😂

ouzo, Jul 25 2020 03:46

decided to not ride.

Its only 20km, but I know me, I won't take it easy, and the way I've been feeling the last 2 days its better to listen to my body.

Pure Savage, Jul 25 2020 07:30

Only 4000 odd entrants so far, those are pretty good odds! 

 

I was pretty impressed, was painless and quick and a kiff online vibe and got my certificate quickly. 

 

Well done to Versus again.

I submitted my ride via Bluetooth from my Lezyne GPS to my phone and in less than 1 minute I got my certificate via e-mail.
