Can I add power data to strava?
I just picked up a GPS for the new year and uploaded my first ride to Strava, however I still have my wired powertap for power data. Is there any way I can include my power data in there? I use Golden Cheetah for power analysis, but it would be nice to be able to throw my avg watts in so when I'm looking back over past rides I don't have to open something else up and search for the accompanying power data.

so your power data is stored on a different head unit than your gps? in that case I have no idea if you can merge the files somehow before uploading to strava.

I'm not really interested in merging, I just want to take my average power for the ride and put it in that little box on Strava that says average power in the summary tab.

I don't believe you can. I believe Strava can only automatically pull power from ANT+ compatible meters that are tracked by a Garmin.

If all you want is to record the average power for the ride:
-Choose the "Edit Ride" tab (right side)
-Enter the data in the "notes/description" box
Hope that helps

Sorry to bump my old thread, but I've noticed the average power over segments is pretty close. I did one today that was a half mile little climb and there was only a 6 watt difference between the Strava estimate and my actual power, and yesterday for a 30 minute climb it was only off by 1 watt. The total ride averages tend to be horrible, but the segments are pretty close.
