Strava, Meet Facebook Groups and Facebook Messenger
Strava is the place for athletes and weekend warriors to track their runs, bicycle rides, or swims. It is where your team mates will laud your successes and support you through your failures. I’ve been using Strava Pro for many years now.
However, Strava lacks an important feature: the ability to organize, discuss, coordinate, and schedule your team events. Strava Clubs allow you to be part of a group. Yet, that’s about it. There is no option to create an event (publicly or privately). It lacks also the social community aspect, where you can discuss gear discounts, plan team outfits, or share advise on how to repair your bicycle.
In the teams I am part of, the organizers went to Meetup or Facebook Groups and Messenger to do that. To be honest, I am not a big fan of having to go to Facebook Groups for this. You quickly get sucked in to doomscrolling.
Facebook may be the watercooler for many, Strava can become the locker room for all active folks.
