-Your activity may have been overlapping another activity. Our system is built to automatically detect overlapping activities (by time). It automatically removes one of the overlapping rides and retains the activity with the longest distance recorded.

If your activities are missing, you can verify the reason for such by sending us an email at [email protected]
