Overview

This document will go through the steps to upload your ride activity in the form of a .FIT file to The Breakaway. Currently this feature is in a beta testing phase, so please send along any unexpected results or bugs that you may encounter to [email protected].

Some known issues that we are currently working on fixing:

1. .FIT files can only be uploaded one at a time. We don't currently support bulk uploading.
2. If you add .FIT files that are earlier in time than your earliest synced ride on The Breakaway, you won’t be able to scroll back in history to see them. We are working on a fix for this.
3. For now, any manually uploaded activities will have a title “Manual Upload.” We are working on an edit function for ride titles.
