Oh no....thousands and thousands of miles lost!!

[AlanW]

My lad has just accidentally deleted my Strava account thinking it was a duplicate one!!

In excess of 180K recorded miles gone and according to Strava not recoverable ffs...I feel so sick its untrue

 

[jefmcg]

Ugh! Wow, that breaks my heart.

Google strava help, there may be a way (sorry, I doubt, but still). Raise some tickets on https://strava.zendesk.com

And change all your passwords. Your son has all privileges revoked.

Oh, and change your will

Ticket already raised and needless to say that my son has assumed a very low profile!!!

 

[ianrauk]

ouch
Sorry to hear.

I don't use Strava extensively as I prefer MyCyclingLog. Everynow and then I download all my ride information as a csv file in case something untowards happens,

 

[AlanW]

Yes I know that no one died but gosh how utterly devastated am I right now....that sick feeling in my stomach

 

[pclay]

Not backed up anywhere else, like on Garmin connect?

Really? Is it that important? Im not being funny, honestly.

The only thing that would annoy me is if there were a lot of rides abroad that I would like to do again and couldnt remember where they were. Otherwise I would draw a line under it and start again.

 

[Heltor Chasca]

I feel your pain. I like my graphs and stats almost as much as fettling and riding. Surely Strava can do something.

We could have a whip round. Kilometres or Miles?

 

[Drago]

That's awful. As any cyclist knows, if its not recorded on Strava then it never really happened.

 

[screenman]

You are just going to have to go and do them again.

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

And I thought it was the end of the world when my Garmin only saved the last ride but lost the previous one.

Commiserations

...at least you have the fun of building it all up again

 

[dodgy]

How come he had access to your Strava profile settings, enough to be able to delete it?

 

[byegad]

Surely you still rode the miles, and had many happy memories of them? To me that's all that matters, a ride, views, possibly with friends. That's what cycling's about.
