I’ve had the Fitbit for a couple of months and I’m pretty close to going back to my bulky garmin. Just wondering of I’m doing something wrong before I do this.

So yesterday I did a 1 hour bike ride which it completely missed. Then this morning it asked me about a ride I supposedly did earlier in yesterday which turned out to be me driving to the shops.

Today I asked it to create a run workout. So on my android phone I had some intervals setup. I plugged in my headphones thinking it would give me some audible alerts but nothing. I’m running holding my phone and of course accidentally hit the end workout button.

Fortunately I had a regular watch so used that. Then guess what it knows I did about 8k but it does not log this as a run.

I have auto detect activities on.

When it does pick up bike rides it breaks them into several rides …I stop for coffee so fair enough. But sometimes just stopping for five minutes is treated as another ride.

Shame because I’m enjoying wearing a classic watch.

We recently swapped homes and after almost 15 years of 5 star reviews we had a 4 star cleanliness review. When we pressed for more details apparently we left some crumbs on the kitchen floor, a few hairs in the shower and at our house there were some cobwebs on the outside of windows. They didn’t have a proper working vacuum and very few cleaning implements so we assume they have a cleaner. I won’t go into a list of things we found wrong at their home but of course we gave them a great review and 5 stars. Funnily enough I found their oven was pretty dirty and scrubbed the tray clean. They also left a pile of dirty washing at ours which we have cleaned and are getting to them at no cost.

If we rented our house out I would hire in a professional cleaning team could charge about 4000€ per week rental but enjoy sharing our home with others. In return we hope the homes match their descriptions and are tidy and hygienic. May be some people expecting an airbnb type arrangement.

Is it possible to get their review removed from our account? Even though it is a glowing write up, that 4 star makes my blood boil. Rant over…

I did a 2.2k swim today front crawl and if didn't even notice. It picked up the walk to and from the swim! Id have thought crawl must be the easiest thing to recognise?

We stayed at an apartment in Morocco last week. Very dirty, no fans or iron even though they were listed, broken window. We wrote an honest review. Then soon after we started getting extremely rude messages from the owner via WhatsApp. What can we do, obviously we've informed booking and blocked the number. But they then used another number.

So this weekend I did a 600k ride using my Karoo 2. Near the end we hit some bad weather and needed to reroute. I removed the route and loaded a new one which I had already synced as an alternative, it just got stuck with loading route. In the end we had to resort to using my phone because the routing was gone. Is this a known issue, I guess that it was just too much processing.

Also rain related, what is the simplest way to stop the touch screen function once there is rain. The screen just started randomly changing with the rain so I could not access the menus.
