I have no experience with strava, but it doesnt have some sort of automated tracker? Automatic upload of ride or something?
sure the newer Garmin devices can up load via Bluetooth and your phone, or its been connected to WIFIbrownbobby said:Thank God he's been found....but how on Earth did his ride end up on Strava if he was unconscious.

He likely wasn't found at the same place his Strava ride ended. There is no ravine anywhere near as Susan says.lartiste said:Gigs_98 said:What I don't get is, why did it take so long to find him if his exact location was online for hours.

I do not expect, that police knew that and even his wife ... . It is really not probable. Cyclists (runners) knows what strava is, but I would not bet that police will know and even of they will know, that they will know, that he uploaded last ride.
Interesting if I remember correctly, you can pay some fee and then your ride is available online live. Seems to be reasonable to pay ... .
