Why is Strava's estimated time so idiotic?
Maybe they specify somewhere how it is calculated, but as far as I can tell, they just take your average speed over your last x rides and apply that to the distance of the route you create.
They completely ignore the elevation of the route. Surely, surely with all the data they have on you, they can factor one more variable into their estimate?
Case in point I just created a route of almost the exact same length as my last long ride, and Strava estimates almost the exact same time. The only problem is one has less than 400m elevation gain, the other over 2000m.
