    I love it - so much of my riding involves hills that the segments and hill climbs are very motivating. (Somehow all my QOMs are on descents, though. )

    Is a great way to track and see how we stack with other female riders.

    Thought I would bump this and see if anyone else is on Strava since this thread went around this summer. I really enjoy it for tracking progress in training.

    I found it demoralizing so I stopped using it.

    I don't need a program to reinforce the fact that I'm the Slowest. Person. Ever. up a particular climb ... I can pretty much figure that out on my own.

    Strava's awesome. The only problem is that I'm the only female riding most of the climbs around here, so I'm always at the bottom. Oh well...still Queen of the mountains!

    What I like is the ability to compare myself to.... myself. It's nice to see improvement or recognize that a ride was relaxed pace or I'm tired or whatever, so I didn't improve.

    I agree, Strava is good progress tracking tool. I know that for our group it has being a great motivator and quite a few of our friends have really improved or ride more often after joining Strava
