Since I caught the Strava bug found that I am enjoying my cycling less. Instead of going out for an enjoyable ride I find I am concentrating more on speed, time etc. I have some very picturesque set routes where I live and I have some nice benches in little villages where I often take in upon myself to rest, have a drink, refuel, contemplate my navel etc. previously I would just tootle up to my favourite rest stop, dismount and enjoy the break. Now I find myself prioritising getting my mobile out of my cycling jacket and getting Strava on pause as quickly as possible. Strava is a useful app and I do enjoy the ability to record my rides, calories, elevation etc but sometimes find it a bit intrusive on my mindset when riding.
