Strava Club

[nelsonccc]

I made a Bogley Strava club. It'll let us all compare and compete against each other and see how we are stacking up. I sent a few invites out to people that are on here and Strava than I know of. If you want in just let me know or search for it on the club page and join.

[double moo]

Searched and got no club named Bogley, please send me an invite!
sears.mike1@gmail.com

[nelsonccc]

I emailed you as well as sent the invite from within strava.

[tallsteve]

Couldn't find it either by searching.

[Iceaxe]

Couldn't find it.

[double moo]

Club is "BOGLEY.COM"

[nelsonccc]

Yep it's Bogley.com. but we can change it. I sent both of you an invite but it also shows up when i search for it.

Shane, yours went to your gmail account.

[tallsteve]

Got it- thanks!

[Iceaxe]

I never did receive an invite to this group but found it by searching "bogley.com". It looks like only three of us actually are using Strava, we need more signed up and using it.

[nelsonccc]

I agree. I know Scott uses it but he didn't sign up after getting the invite.

[nelsonccc]

It would be nice to have more. There's got to be more people on here using it.

[tallsteve]

Part of the problem could be not having a logo or photo on the club page. I know I had a hard time figuring out how to even access the club stats because I couldn't see the club from my profile page. It was only by accident that I happened to hover the cursor over the blank spot where my other clubs are shown that I was able to find it.

Ahh, I see what you're saying. I didn't realize that but you're right there is just a blank space that shows up if you hover over it. I added in the logo so that will help with that aspect. Also changed the location to show Utah and Nevada since most of the users will likely end up being from Utah.

[tallsteve]

Sweet- thanks! I see it!

I don't see why not, we let the road riders log their miles and it's pretty much the same thing :haha:

[tallsteve]

Hey, I resemble that remark! I'll have you know that I climbed over 30,000 ft. in the month of April. Not many flat miles here. Right now I'm doing about 80% road, 20% mtb. Within the next couple of weeks I'll be transitioning over to nearly 100% mtb so my miles will plummet but my elevation gain will remain roughly the same.

[double moo]

In my continuing effort to beat my times on Strava I have once again ate shit at speed. Thanks to Strava I know that I was clocking 28 mph when I washed out my front end and did a face first slide through 20+ feet of thistles and other painful shit. Limping off the mountain was made more fun knowing that I had just laid down some bitchin' PRs. My goal for the summer was to get sub 10 min on Rush... tonight, just prior to my impending brush with pain, I clocked a 9:37. Strava is the source of my pain... 4 good wrecks last season... all trying to seat a PR. This is the first this year - I may have to uninstall the app...

Who else is a regular casualty of Strava?

[Iceaxe]

After a couple of near misses I changed up my Strava routine and now only consider records when climbing to be worthy accomplishments. Chasing downhill records is a fools game as it does nothing but invite you to take bigger risks which each new attempt.

[double moo]

Well said.

[accadacca]

I see the filter at the bottom of the screen in the app.

[tallsteve]

Nice job, Iceaxe! My excuse? We've been moving into a new house over the last couple of weeks. I think I've done 2 rides in that time. We finally got all moved on Saturday but, now I'll be doing a bunch of chainsawing up AF Canyon this week trying to get the Ridge Trail #157 network of trails cleared so we can get them open. My next ride may not be until Saturday morning.

[tallsteve]

...oh, and I'm also old, 55, and I really felt my age during this move!

[Iceaxe]

I just turned 55 last month. When I look around at others our age I notice we are in a very rare group. Most are overweight and spend their spare time watching TV.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this a lot since my birthday a couple of months ago. I'm 55 and I would guess I'm in the top 10%, at the very least, and maybe in the top 5% for fitness level for men my age. Not bragging, it's just the way it is. I feel blessed to have had the desire and ability to have always stayed in shape since high school. Cycling has played a huge role in that for the past 25 years or so. I'm on only 1 prescription medication- Nasonex for allergies. I perform quite well against guys half my age on the bike- road or mountain. I can bike as far as I want. I can walk as far as a want. I can hike as far as I want. Without feeling like I'm going to die after the first mile. A couple of months ago we saw a former neighbor at the movie theater. We are the same age. He is my same height (6'8") and at the time we were neighbors, was only slightly heavier than me. Now, he weighs a good 400 pounds and I thought he was going to die climbing the theater stairs to his seat. I felt sorry for him. I don't know why he hasn't kept in shape. He'll be lucky to live another 5 years. Again, not trying to brag, just reiterating that consistent exercise does wonders for the body.

[Iceaxe]

And you have to admit.... it's a lot of fun when you pedal past a kid half your age.

At least I'm not in last place! I ride a lot less when I'm playing double header softball Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights! I think Shane's is all mtn bike miles too which is even harder.

[Iceaxe]

I have less than 3 road miles this year, and the road miles were just hooking different trails together. I does help to have a world class trail system in my backyard :-)

Welcome!

After a couple of near misses I changed up my Strava routine and now only consider records when climbing to be worthy accomplishments. Chasing downhill records is a fools game as it does nothing but invite you to take bigger risks which each new attempt.

Additionally, this mentality can really damage goodwill with other trail users. Mountain bikers have already created a semi-negative air for ourselves (whether deserved or not), but this strava-fication of downhills on popular multi-use trails is a very bad trend.

It can happen on the uphill as well, though it's more rare. Don't be a Strav-asshole.

[Iceaxe]

A couple days ago I had some dumbass nearly fly up my ass, about the time he nearly ran me over he starts screaming "Strava, Strava" so being the easy going guy I am I made my bike a little wider and took a little longer to allow him to pass. I don't think he really understood I could careless about his Strava records :-)

I do exactly the same thing. If I hear somebody coming up behind me, I will gladly expediently get off the trail so they can pass. However, if somebody has the audacity to yell "strava" at me, I then do everything in my power to delay them to the fullest. That has only happened to me once, but was one of the douche-iest things I have ever witnessed in the outdoors. I just completely ignored him and eventually he went off through the grass and weeds to get around me. I of course sped up enough to where he couldn't make the pass and had to merge back in behind me before he hit a tree. I then started laughing which made him even more pissed off.

[tallsteve]

I had the same thing happen to me on a steep climb in AF Canyon. He got on my tail and starting yelling "Strava!". I yelled back that I would pull over as soon as we came to a more suitable spot for passing and re-starting. I took my time. He wasn't a happy camper when I finally let him pass.

[Tystevens]

Funny. I've never witnessed the "Strava" yelling -- I thought it was just urban legend!

[Sombeech]

OK.... I finally installed Strava.

My next question is... How do I Strava... I get the general concept, hit record when I start riding. I think I added Shane, Scott, Steve and Christian. How do I get to the bogley.com group?

[tallsteve]

Under "Explore" at the top you'll find the "Club" tab. Click on that and type in BOGLEY.COM and it should come up.

[Sombeech]

hmmm.... is this a Premium only feature?

[tallsteve]

It shouldn't be. I am a premium member but, it looks like there are only 2 of us premium members in the Bogley club so there has to be a way to join.

[Iceaxe]

hmmm.... is this a Premium only feature?

The feature is available to everyone, but it's a little hard to find...

Dashboard >> Explore >> Clubs
In the search box enter "Bogley.com"

Also there is really no need to follow us individually if we are in the club as you are really following everyone in the club.

[Sombeech]

Hmmm, I'm cornfused, I'm just not seeing the clubs tab

Try doing it on a PC. It will be easier.

I think you have to do it from a computer. I couldn't find it on my iphone.

[Iceaxe]

I can't find it on my Android, logging in on a computer gives you a lot of other options not available on the app. The main function of the app is to make recording your ride simple.

FWIW- I resisted Strava for years, mostly because I knew a lot of asshats that used it. I only joined because of Bogley, but now I've used it I'm extremely impressed with the program. What it does is amazing and the cost (free) is hard to beat.

Also for those using My Fitness Pal to count calories the two programs can be linked to automatically record your exercise/calories burned.

[tallsteve]

Speaking of Strava, look at all of my AF Canyon KOM's from Tuesday!

When I first saw my stats I was like, wow, I got really fast over the winter, until realized that the trails have been closed and I was the first one to ride them for the year! The jokes on me!

I resisted the premium for awhile but it adds so many features. Especially if you track your heartrate. I love it's connectivity with so many other programs.

This is primarily why I haven't done it, I'm anti compete when it comes to riding, and I just use My Tracks by Google to track my ride and give me stats. But I'll give it a whirl. I'm absolutely horrible on the climb, partially to my 3X operated on knees and my heavy bikes that I love to ride. But if I can measure the downhill, I can probably compare pretty good to above average.

[Sombeech]

OK I joined, thanks

I mainly just check myself against myself. Both uphill and downhill are very deflating if you look at the overall stats. It's hilarious to ride some super popular segments like Clarks or Armstrong in Park City and feel like you were killing it, only to find out that you rank 4,579th out of 5,000 people. Good times.

I will say that the Strava software is pretty amazing and I love geeking out on the FlyBy feature.

[Sombeech]

Yes I guess it would be a good tool to measure against yourself. My problem is I'm riding different bikes now, stopping to take pictures, adjust the video camera, things like that so timing hasn't been much of a motivation for me. But it will be interesting to see if I improve over the year.

[tallsteve]

I like the stats part of Strava. The one I focus on most is my elevation gain for the year. I've always liked to climb although it's getting tougher and tougher at my age and going forward.
The FlyBy'd page makes me giggle every time I watch one of my rides!

A lot of this are guys who straight up focus on just one section. There was a guy I ran into a month or so ago stopped up a hill, off trail, pointed at another trail. I asked him if he was okay and he said he wanted to get a running start on the segment below so he was going to blaze trail so he could hit the segment at speed. I told him that was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard of. Especially since there are massively wide discrepancies in the gps devises and phones used. If I go on a ride with my buddy, sometimes I'll have my android phone running strava and my Edge 500. My buddy will run strava on his iphone. The edge will be the most accurate by a long shot and the segment times and speed and distance can vary a ton between the phones. My buddy makes fun of me cause he always has an extra couple tenths of a mile after a ride.

I love the edge 500 but it is cool when I wear bluetooth headphones and strava will announce the start of a segment and will give you rel time updates on your status through the phone.

[Iceaxe]

I just use My Tracks by Google to track my ride and give me stats.

I was using My Tracks before I switched to Strava. Strava is at least 100 times better than My Tracks.

Strava has definitely made me a better rider. I've worked real hard this year to get my average MPH up and I'm now peddling at about 15% better than I was two months ago.

[gholt]

Just joined. Now I'll find out how really slow I am.

Yep, Strava is actually a pretty cool program. For me, I don't care so much about comparing times with others (although, admittedly, I do check it out!), but I compare against my own times. I like tracking yearly mileage and stuff like that, too. Another big benefit is it helps me quantify a ride can compare it to other rides I might want to do of similar elevation gain or distance, so I know what I'm doing and what I'm in for.

[hikster11]

I have been using track my fitness for my rides and have not had any complaints. I will give this strava a try and see it it as great as you guys say it is.

[tallsteve]

Dang. Just 11' shy of 10,000' of climbing for the week. If I had known I was that close...I would have done 10 jumping jacks or something!

[Iceaxe]

Damn... I hit a tree today chasing a Strava record and went over the bars while hauling ass. I lost some skin on my shoulder and back. Lesson learned... I'm too old to be doing that type of shit.

[tallsteve]

Yikes! I stopped chasing downhill Strava records when I switched to a hardtail. Just not worth the risk at my age.

Ha! Nice, but I love my hardtail! I actually demo'd a full suspension 2 weeks ago for an entire week. Yes, there were some things I enjoyed about it and I think I PR'd on a couple of downhill runs up AF but, at the end of the week I kept thinking I want my hardtail back. Of course I timed the demo just right to coincide with replacing my old, worn out fork on my hardatil with this bad boy and it's made my bike just that much more enjoyable:

It wasn't downhill where I crashed. It was an uphill route, but I hit a section where I knew the grade was mild for the next half mile so I really droped the hammer. I was in my big gears and was probably doing 20 mph. But Strava was still to blame as I knew where the Strava marks were and was trying to hang up an impressive number. I stopped chasing downhill records long ago.

[nelsonccc]

I love my hardtail, especially since mine is a single speed! There's something about the simplicity, whenever I ride I full suspension I feel like there is so much lost energy.

I was right behind Zoso getting to the 4-way intersection. It's crazy, you don't show up on my flyby, but you do on Zoso's. It's a shame, we were hoping to extend the ride to do the South Deer Fork loop, but we didn't have time.

[tallsteve]

You don't show up on my Flyby either but the other guy you were with does.

It's like 2 minutes or something. I blame it on your super speedy hardtail.

If you click on Zoso's activity (from your flyby screen), then do his flyby, you can see where I was with respect to him and you. Missed you by "that much." I'm a total nerd, but I love that Flyby feature.

[mxerhale]

Well, I finally got a dumb/smart phone and joined the geeks on Strava. I also have to add in my defense any of my rides that I note as being with Jack are done with my 10 year old son so we don't normally set any records on those, but he is getting better and braver every time that we go out. Hopefully some day he will be able to whip my butt up the mountain and it'll all be worth it.

[Iceaxe]

I ride with my kids all the time. Those are some of my favorite rides. Who cares about speed when you get to ride with your kids.

[mxerhale]

We have a blast on every ride together, half of the time he tells me he's dying and the other half how much fun riding is. It seems like after every ride we end up laughing our asses off about something dumb that happened like me tipping over or him falling off the edge of the trail, it's always funny later on. He used to love the uphills only, but he's getting to appreciate the downhill almost as much as I do now.

[Sombeech]

Just throwing this out there, if I find a way to embed / share your strava routes or maps here, would anybody use it?

And... yeah, I know the Google Maps embed is messed up at the moment.

[Iceaxe]

Probably not, we already have a Bogley group on Strava and I use Strava when I want to see where Bogley members are riding. And Strava has so many other advantages like total miles ridden and elevation gained.

[accadacca]

I would vote to fix google maps.

[Sombeech]

I would vote to fix google maps.

Yeah, I'll start looking at this again. I'm assuming one could always export their Strava route and import it into Google Maps

Yeah, Strava is pretty good at looking at a group and comparing rides and where people are riding. Even if the map showed up here (like it does if you link strava to facebook) I still end up clicking in the map and going to strava for more detail anyways.

I'm surprised your email didn't explode with messages from Stavassholes who flagged your KOM as suspicious. I've done that a couple of time when I drive with Strava on. I swear, less than 10 minutes after an upload I get people freaking out because they lost their KOM and flagging it.

Good times.

[Iceaxe]

So I just crossed 2000 miles for the year on my mountain bike and 99% of those miles are in the dirt. I've also climbed 230,001' so far this year. I'm pretty dang happy about that.

Good on 'ya! My numbers are way down this year compared to the last few. I blame it on my AF Canyon volunteer trailwork commitment. There just seemed to always be a lot to do. More than normal. I just turned in my hours for the season to the Forest Service (beginning of October to end of September). 132 hours. Looking at it another way, if my mtn. bike rides average 2 hours (which they do), that's 66 rides I missed out on because I was up the canyon doing trailwork instead. I'm proud of what I accomplish up the canyon so, not complaining. It was still a good year!

Here's me receiving a volunteer of the year recognition award this past June, for 10 years of traiwork volunteering, from the head of the US Forest Service. 85200

Yo bitchez... I just passed 2000 miles for the year, all on my mountain bike and 99% in the dirt.

After I seperated my shoulder I didn't know if I'd make it this year as the magic 2000 number has been my goal the last few years.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171111/46eae3f39943f18b8ede1de897fdd24c.jpgGood job. I think I've hit about 500.

Just for fun... here is my 2017 and 2016 MTB stats. I was actually on track for a little better 2017 until a MTB crash separated my shoulder. This is all mountain bike and 99% on dirt, none of that candyass road bike crap.

I knew my 2017 stats would be lower than usual going into it. I normally just do a teeny bit of musical theater here and there but, this year I did 3 shows, pretty much back-to-back. From March to just last week, I was either in rehearsal or performing the show and just didn't have hardly any spare time. Anyway, with all I had going on, I'm OK with where I ended up. Zero pavement, all on dirt or snow.

I'm averaging about 50 miles a week and 6000 feet of elevation on my mountain bike. The only thing that's crazy about those numbers for me is they are being posted in January and February.

My Strava stats in 2018 so far:

89015

Pretty much all fatbike, with a couple of rides on dirt at Valley Vista. There's been some good snow riding if you know where to find it, even during this pitiful winter.

[Iceaxe]

WTF!!!

We have guys on motorcycles logging miles on the Bogley MTB Strava group.... Not Cool!

:angryfire:

[Iceaxe]

I might get a couple more rides in this year, but just in case I forget here is how my year is going. It looks like I'm pretty much right on my normal pace. All mountain bike, all the time.

If you add time on my Motorcycles it would look a little better. 8 tours (40 days, 8,000 mi) on my big bike and a maybe a dozen rides on my dirt bike.

This is pretty cool... my year on Strava...

When did Strava become Tinder?


Another request. This chick won’t leave me alone.

Damn I guess I need to start using Strava again

[Iceaxe]

Since I began keeping track of my MTB riding on Strava in 2015 this is my best year ever and because of heavy snow I actually got a late start. It's been a great year with lots of fun rides and two gold medals at the World Senior Games. Living the dream.....

My son Brady joined the club. I think some of Shane’s climbing records in corner canyon are in serious jeopardy or already gone. I’ll have to get a 29er one day and try to catch up with you guys. He’s getting much faster downhill, but I’ve still got him there.

I certainly hope he can beat me.... I'm a 60 y/o grandpa.

:lol8:

And I just looked. Brady has some great times. I hope there is a NICA season so he can show it off. :2thumbs:

I’m convinced that age is just a number. My Dad is 74 and has more energy then most.

Talk to me again when your 60, or even 50.... father time tries to kick the shit out of you every day after 50... you have to work twice as hard just to keep what you have. Guys that stay active seem to weather the storm much better, because once you lose what you have you can't get it back.

Or at least that's my two cents...

Here's today's workout... tell Brady to go match that ;-)

He had climbed 2,600 feet and 23-25 miles. Pretty solid average speed. His Strava messed up on the milage as you can see that straight line which happens sometimes on Android for some reason. He rode up from the EQ over to coyote, canyon, down rush, back up canyon, then a couple laps on peak view and then down ghost, rattler and limelight. I did part of it, 14 miles and 1,900.

Hell, I've noticed it at 40. It's really frustrating. No wonder the uber-rich celebrities drop a small fortune on supplements like HGH and steroids.

[Iceaxe]

40 wasn't too bad for me... all I had to do then was stop drinking a 6 pack of Mountain Dew every day and I was good for another 5 years.

At one time I was a huge Mtn Dew junkie.

You rode a lot. I got sidelined in July when I broke my ankle.

Looks like you increased your climbing stats. Nice job!

I wish.... that was a typo... LOL...

Fixed now. 95% of my riding is in Corner Canyon so the elevation gain to mileage is pretty consistent.
