just plug the garmin in, you may need garmin connect loaded, strava will search for the unit and upload the files.I would like to do that but not sure how.. could you give me a point in the right direction.

What I do though is copy the route to a folder on the computer, and upload as a file, that way you also have a backup of your files, I have also done it for the all garmin file system

Post a link to a ride on here and everyone can see it, from that people can request to follow you, that way every time you ride they will get a notification on their Strava dashboard.

No worries, look forward to seeing your rides, just don't tell us how warm it is!Ah right.. I will do that and see what happens.

This sounds like good advice OK for me as where I live its flat for quite a way before some hillsIf possible start off going down a hill or flat so you can just take it easy until you warm up. Just stick at it and keep setting yourself goals/targets to achieve.

I always warm up for rides upto about 15 miles anything more than that I just go slower for a bit then try to make it up as the ride goes on
I ride around to the LBS and 'officially' start and finish all my rides from there, I loose a few miles in terms of logging miles but just find it easier for me to ride once warm.

if you want to record them for logging, just do a trip to the LBS, then restart, do your ride then, finish and do another home. my spreadsheet then tots the total up for day, week ect.....

Here's my first ride I've put on here, this was on my mtb but I do have rides for my road bike as well..
Being an old coddger of 61 I wont be trying to race as my targets will be a better average and better distance.. I would like to improve but not race and bearing in mind its 50c in the summer up here.
I will put a road one on later today..

Thats all I do, I know I am not going to get to the stage of someone 25years younger than me. No matter how bad a ride I have, like yesterday http://app.strava.com/activities/42086126 it always encourages you if you get a p.b. especially if it's a difficult section. http://app.strava.com/activities/42086126#705485592 it's not a long section but it has a double bend in it.
That looked arduous in places.

After stopping for a coffee this weekend I was physically shaking I was so cold, but a few miles down the road I Was toasty again.
Got a point about the cold. Im generally ok but at faster speeds when im breathing harder it feels like im snorting liquid nitrogen. I also develop chesty coughs that last an hour or 2 after the ride.
