RE: Using Strava Heatmaps to find cycling routes

in #cycling7 years ago

A interesting tip to remember when looking at these maps:
When you zoom in on a known popular climb, you can see that it is 'hot' which indicates a lot of riders, BUT it also has a lot more GPS data because the rider is riding much slower uphill. The Garmin's typically take one data point every second.

Sort:  

Ah, so the slower we go, the "hotter" we are? Interesting observation!
