Are you familiar with Strava? This app turns your mobile device into a sophisticated walking, running, and cycling computer. It also integrates with GPS watches and head units.
Over 100 million athletes in 195 countries are connected to Strava – so whatever your activity and goals, you’ll have a community at your back. This can be very helpful for trip planning or asking people about riding or skiing conditions, as well as learning about new places or areas to ride, hike, ski or whatever the activities might be.
Sign-up is free for basic use and aggregate statistics are available to the town through StravaMetro. This data can assist the Town to measure the number of users, speed, the volume of travel by hour or day, and routes and will help staff identify missing trail or cycling links that could be considered for future construction.
Looking ahead: Early spring is unveiling a lot of dog poop that neglectful owners failed to pick up during the winter months. All pet owners must pick up after your pet, not just now, but always. It is the law!
