I just recently started using Strava. I have used a Garmin Edge 705 for several years after I kept getting lost in the Texas Hill country. I have been using Garmin Connect and when I went on Strava it downloaded a couple years data from my edge. I like it as a training tool as I look at where other 65+ riders are on segments I ride. I follow some that are a little better on most segments and try to beat them. It forces me to put in a higher effort and I am riding more to increase my fitness.
