I also send my rides to Endomondo and RWGPS and both those sites show exactly what I see on the Bolt. If I upload a file from a 40.6 mile ride, it displays properly. I'm thinking Strava needs to look into their FIT parsing engine because I don't think it's working right.
Why do I have this thought that Strava doesn't use the fit file, instead uses the actual GPS track. That could explain the miles shortage (cutting the corners)
