f you use Strava to record your rides, you can link it with your Love to Ride account so that your rides are automatically logged on your profile. During a challenge, this means you'll get entered into prize drawings automatically - how great is that?! 😃
Note: if you have already connected your Strava to your Love to Ride profile, but your rides aren't syncing, go here for support getting it running smoothly again.
To get started syncing your rides from Strava just follow these simple steps 👇
Log onto Strava on your device if you aren't already. Go to Strava and make sure you're logged in
Head to your Profile Page and click on 'Settings' beneath your profile picture
Click on the Phone Apps tab
Scroll down and click on the orange 'Connect with Strava' button
Give Love to Ride permission to access your Strava account. You will be taken to the Strava site, where you will need to give Love to Ride access to sync your rides. Make sure both boxes are selected, as shown below 👇
That's it, you're done!
Now when you use Strava to track your rides, you'll see them turn up on your Love to Ride profile within 24 hours of being saved.
Bonus tip 🚴♂️
You can use the 'commute' tag in Strava before you save your ride and it will automatically show as 'transport to or from work' on your Love to Ride profile.
⏰ Rides that are less than 6 miles long will default to ‘transport to or from work’ when they occur between:
7:30-9:30am, Monday to Friday
4:30-6:30pm, Monday to Friday
⏰ Rides less than 3 miles will default to ‘transport to or from other destination’ when they occur between:
9:30am to 4:30pm, Monday-Friday
6:30pm and 7:30am, Monday-Friday
Any time Saturday-Sunday
