Garmin 520-cannot upload to Garmin Connect

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

File looks fine. It loads into Golden Cheetah without any problems.

Edit: but it doesn't load into Garmin Connect for some reason. Is that your ultimate destination for the file or are you trying to load to Strava or some other site?

I exported from Golden Cheetah to a fit file which loads correctly into Garmin Connect. Try this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2tn0me4znt..._ride.fit?dl=0

Contact Garmin. They can and will help.

Are you trying to upload via WiFi or Bluetooth? Garmin doesn't like doing both at the same time. If you want to go Bluetooth to your phone, be sure to pull up the Connect app before syncing. (No, you shouldn't have to, but you do.)
