Update Ride Dates

Update Ride DatesAfter being pointed out that the Velo Flow link from segments for some rides in Australia weren’t always returning results as expected I discovered I’ve not consistently using the right date from the Strava API. The majority of dates I use have been Greenwich Mean Time which is causing an issue when your ride happened to not be the same day as it was at the time in London.

Easy fix though – once only you will need to press the “Update Ride Details” button on your Update page and then this button will disappear then all your data should be in the appropriate time zones.

Go update all your placings to get all your correct placings.

Ride Details, the Missing Link

Ride DetailsFor a long time the main missing element on VeloViewer has been a ride details page. Well, not any more. Very much a version 1 so expect lots of changes based on some things I still want to add and any feedback/requests you guys want to give me. For now though, view each of your rides’ stats, interactive map, elevation charts (including the gradient histogram – distance travelled at each gradient) and lists of all segments covered (on a secondary tab).
