I would give up Strava if I could afford a good level of garmin as I have a lot to trouble remembering routes so at least the garmin would let me know we're to go ( or I think that is how it works ) You can link your Garmin and Strava together so you don't ever need to give up Strava. I live for Strava, I also just use loads of trails that aren't segments on strava to keep them hidden, therefore best of both worlds |

I don't get all this 'life after Strava' stuff!
If you want to chase KOM's and PR's then do it. If you don't want to chase KOM's and PR's then don't do it. Simple.

Yeah was simple I just deleted it like  I don't live for strava but wot I did find was I started to spend more time looking at it thinking oh I could just go a bit faster I could get the kom or some thing ... Instead of just enjoying my riding  So for me I've got rid of it simples If people want to use it happy days I don't |

Just got sick of it in not out there to race other people it's about riding not trying to beat your friends on times that are being recorded by suspect phones gps .. But that's how I feel |

Maybe I should start worrying about PR's etc instead of sitting at cafes and pubs during rides lol..
Fair play mate, if Strava worried you that much, you probably are better off without it.
We must just have different mind-sets.

But that's how I feel I like to see the progression of where my skills are going and times are the best way for me to measure that. I'm also a competitive little fluffy clouds as well |

I`m usually riding like a donkey

I just got a tomtom multi sport watch a month ago and my fellas already sick of me shouting things like "don't f@#king stop there it's the middle of a strava segment" and has promised to hide the charger if I continue to annoy him. That said I quite like it. Tis a passing fad I suppose....

I'm sure it'll come back macky - maybe you need to ride with other riders for a bit instead of solo runs? the bantz helps me no end when riding with someone else, I do struggle to get motivated sometimes on my own.
Gaz I'm with Jay as well - I just don't feel the urge to chase KOMs or try and beat you and others - I just don't think that way, but if it was getting on your tits then fair fecks.
It's just one of them, I suppose.

I seem also to have a strava stalker, I do some local rides midweek which are just piss boring flat stuff mainly to keep my legs turning ready for the weekend ride, well just lately i keep getting notifications that someone has took my kom, and when i have a look on flybys it appears this lad is deliberately going out to beat me lol, I find it quite amusing that i have a stalker who is flying round trying to beat me on the most boring mundane shitty paths ever, so me being on the fatbike i have been riding all the filthiest boggiest shite i can find knowing full well he'll be following me |

Nobody wants to ride with me anymore  I think all my peaks altitude has scared them off  |
