Not only that, but you can continue to do it right from Strava if you want to. You're not required to use Garmin Connect. If you do, you can link your Garmin Connect account to Strava so that activities are automatically forwarded to Strava.
Thanks that's good to know Schinder. So how exactlt do I do that? When I view a ride I see the Share option is greyed out. Do I have to change some settings for that to become available?
If the Share button is greyed out, you need to change the privacy setting on that activity. You can do that by clicking the lock icon to the left of the Share button. When the popup menu appears, select Everyone.
