Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by DaveL Originally posted by jmkizer okay, story time. I went into a business program in college at 19 in-spite of my parents insistence that I should be looking at the trades, specifically electrical. I as a 19 year old knew better but after 15+ years of hating work in business I decided to go back to school into and electrical engineering program. My dad worked at Bruce Power as a Control Technician for most of his career and I had set high hopes and expectations of getting there as well. For the last 5 years I have straddled the 2 worlds as a sort of hybrid tech support / presales eng / product manager for a industrial electronics/electrical sales company. Its been a long haul including a year long evaluation process (interviews and testing) and it seems that I have overshot my expectations and ended up being offered the role of Nuclear Operator which basically oversees the operation of the Nuclear plant. The move is to Kincardine - a small lake side town where I grew up. My wife and I are both from small towns and pretty much hate the city and I am looking forward to not sitting in traffic for 2.5 to 3hrs per day. Originally posted by DaveL Just a quick check in. Training has more or less ground to a hault. A combination of taking a break after my 50k run and in mid October I was offered a dream job which starts in January but also requires a move. The past few weeks have been filled with painting, repairing tiles, cleaning, and starting to pack up 12 years of stuff in an effort to declutter. Realestate is taking pictures later this week so once thats done the showings start. Hoping to have things wrapped up for December then back to normal. Where is your dream job? What is your dream job? Clearly it's not playing Property Brothers' contractor ;-) Very cool, congratulations! Wow, congratulations!!! |

We don't follow each other. We're not in any of the same groups or clubs. I have enhanced privacy on. He's in a completely different part of the country, and no fly-bys. Some of these were indoor rides, so no GPS data. Still trying to figure out how. I took a look at Strava after reading this. Turns out some guy from Austin just gave me kudos on my last 6 activities. I really haven't given too much thought to the random follow or kudo, but this just struck me as weird. Mine was an Erik Binggeser from Austin. Same for you? I messaged Strava about this. Might be a few days before hearing back. Mine is a Dallas guy which is what freaks me out the most. As far as I know he can see all my short neighborhood runs. |

Chris and I are at least several states away. And in my case the privacy was circumvented somehow. My brother has his more open, so gets an occasional guy like yours. He's had some try giving unsolicited advice making a number of (bad) assumptions in the process. Usually like he doesn't know anything. We already talk about bikes, training, and such things fairly regular. He also works at Trek HQ and knows like everyone there & all over the place. Not lacking in resources. He tolerates that more than I do. |

Hence asking about it. The Strava map thing makes me a bit nervous. For the past two summers, there have been break-ins in our area and the only things stolen are the high-end bikes. Everyone who had the break-ins were triathlete or cyclists who used Strava and were not using any of the security features. The bad guys would find where the good bikes were as Strava led them right to the houses. Kinda creepy that strangers can follow us through groups and such even though our accounts are at the highest settings. |

Yeah, definitely look at some privacy settings. Can do other things like misname the bikes, or don't put it in. Something like Cervelo P5 is going to draw some attention. Mine shouldn't, but something like the road bike looks like it should be a much better bike than it is. |

436 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois Wow, that's very scary! I just turned on some privacy, thanks for the step by step instructions! It's unfortunate that something as enjoyable as sharing workouts / seeing what your friends are up to can lead to stalkers and theft. I'll have to find some junkyard bikes to add to my Strava pics to throw off the stalkers. Would be funny to see what the "local experts" would say then. |

This type of thing could drive a person nuts. It will block them from this, but not that. I agree with whoever stated (Justin, Ann Marie, ???) that something we use for fun or simple workout tracking can be used so easily by someone with ill intent. Some of us use it without much thought. Sad that we have to go so strongly after the privacy piece. |

Sad that we have to go so strongly after the privacy piece. Yeah, saw the blocking earlier. It doesn't seem to do anything that I'm not already doing. He never followed in the first place, really, as I've had it set to "Request to follow" for about as long as I've been on there. It just makes it one easy step for people.

Still, it always surprises me when some random person does that - especially since I'm not exactly tearing it up! People do that, but the weird (and concerning) part here is that he should not be able to based off the privacy I've set up. Not too different from BT when only friends can see your logs and not everyone on the site. Somehow he got through that.
ETA: I've thought of contacting directly via responding on his posts, but hesitating due to what what you're thinking here. My brother had some guy duplicating a couple months worth of his files a little bit ago, but turned out to be the guy who bought his garmin. Just hadn't cleared all the old ones before connecting. I just don't know here, so seeing what ideas comes up to check out. Edited by brigby1 2016-11-02 7:13 PM |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois That is why I don't log my training on Strava or sites like that. I have my Garmin Connect set to private. As a woman who lives alone and has a nice bike, I don't need any more visibility than that. (Anyway, the chance of someone stalking me here are maybe not high...) I have had a stalking issue a few times before getting into tri, and it has made me pretty wary of anything that broadcasts my detailed location (or that of my bike) at predictable times. I realise others are more into social media and sharing with friends and/or random strangers, but that comes at a cost of loss of privacy, sometimes despite efforts to control privacy settings. |
