Cycling statistics 2026

At one point of time I realized that statistics can be inspiring. Saying this since I've experienced it personally. Every time I look back previous month's distance I would aim at reaching that number again or exceeding it. That's how it went on for the past five years. As the saying "Hampae wasn't built in a day" goes, these numbers were achieved over weeks, months & years. Share your thoughts please.

There are blog posts dedicated to a few of our rides. If you wish to see them click on this link- bicycle rides around Dharwad.

Blackbuck near Navalur village

This week's Sunday morning was towards Navalur. First we go into the village, then go along the lake embankment and take the 6-km straight road. The road cuts through black soil fields, it's peaceful barring three or four bikes or cars at the max. This time wanted to do a short ride meaning not exceeding 20 km. The morning air was misty and cool. Around the 10th kilometer we stopped for a short break. We took a few pictures in the dim light. We were about to restart when Pushpa heard and saw a couple of deer  sparring. We could hear their horns clash and it was such a lovely sight. We realized they weren't deer but blackbucks. The handsome creatures clashed several times.. they seemed to be playful youngsters. We must've watched them five minutes before they stopped their game and then suddenly ran deeper into the fields.

During our earlier rides around Navalur we had seen deer, peacocks, owls and a rat snake. Wild life sightings have made our mornings, and those rides remain memorable.

One more interesting thing here was the duck-shaped tree.

Midnight bicycle-ride

The thought of a midnight ride occurred almost a year ago. The idea was to start the ride before midnight and end it after midnight. The objective of the exercise was ride across the date changeover and then see what date is assigned to the ride in Zeopoxa and Google Fit. A year went by as the idea waited action. The challenge was staying up that late since we go to bed by 9-15 pm and up by 4-30 am. On Dec 31st morning, after a 30+ km ride, while chatting over tea, I decided to complete this pending item, no matter what. An interesting English action movie of 1973 helped me stay awake. The ride started at 11-46 pm, I rode the main streets, went up to KCD Circle and returned, covering 7.2 km in 30 minutes. I went round KCD Circle at a minute past midnight, first half in 2023 and second half in 2024. Both Zeopoxa and Google Fit showed the ride under Jan 2024 which was my guess as well.

Having done this experiment, I literally rode into Year 2024.

BTW, six days ago i.e. on Dec 25th, another long time task was completed- the 100 km cross-country ride.

100 km cross-country bicycle ride

Almost everyday of December I had been thinking of a long distance ride. Which way to go was the question. Kusugal-Byahatti-Shivalli route requires a MTB because of bad stretches near Byahatti. My MTB needs a major service, so dropped that route. Kittur route requires good lights, both headlight and tail-lamps should last at least 4 hours which was manageable with my collection of lights. However, I was concerned of a backup. I thought of lapping a certain stretch on BRTS route but that wouldn't be fun. I kept on thinking until Dec 24th evening but told Pushpa that I'd a long ride in mind on 25th morning. I planned to start at 4 AM, set alarm for 3-15 AM and hit the sack.

Dec 25th morning. I woke up without the alarm and checked the phone, it was switched off. It was 3-30, I decided to go ahead, even if it meant a little late. I plugged in the charger letting the phone charge up while I got ready. By 3-55 AM, phone was 80% charged and the backup was at 100%. Told Pushpa that I might go towards her office or IIT and left. I pumped air into Montra's rear wheel, fixed the lights and started still unsure which side to go. At the main road, I turned left ...ride towards IIT would be nice in this weather. On entering NH48, I decided to head towards Belur Indl Area, a round-about route to IIT. At the industrial area exit, I thought "forget it, let me go towards Kittur." As I rode on, I felt traffic was more this time compared to the previous ride... Dharwad-Kittur-Dharwad ride of Feb 2022.

On downhill stretches, when the speed picked up, there was some rattling noise. I stopped for a minute at Venkatpur village to check, everything seemed okay. One possibility was a broken spoke or two which can be checked back home. Barring that stop, I rode nonstop to Kittur. About 6 km to go, the headlight indicator flashed red, I turned it off and rode on ...thanks to lights from slow moving trucks, they kept the road lit up well. However, the lamp had some energy left in it, I used it in darker stretches. I had to optimize to make it a nonstop ride. I entered the fort gate and exited, a symbolic gesture and came back to the highway, stopped at Chennamma Circle for this picture. It was 6-30 am and I was heading back towards Dharwad.

On the return leg, I got a thought of making this a 100 km ride. For that to happen the ride had to be extended. I was thinking of options, can decide on the route by the time I arrived at Belur. Recalling my 80 km cross-country ride on July 30th, I had ignored drinking water, as a result I had mild cramps and numbness in my legs. I decided not let that happen by stopping every 30 minutes for a gulp of H2O. The first stop was 15 minutes later than scheduled, I stopped next to a fuel bunk near Belur village. While I stretched and rested, a kitty appeared and started circling me and Montra, meowing softly. I played with it for a minute and left.

The next stop was on IIT road where I ran out of water. I went around IIT, a familiar route, and arrived at Guddada Anjaneya Gudi where I refilled the can. Since the water was salty I was hesitant to drink. The ride continued, I passed Kelageri and then reached Mugad. I bought a bottle of water and few peanut-jaggery candies. I rode out of the village, along the lake bank and stopped at Durgadevi Gudi which is on the lake bank. The temple was a perfect place to stop ...a bench, drinking water, cool breeze and a nice sight. 

On washing my face I realized the amount of salt I had lost. The candies were delicious and energizing. From here, the next 8 km is a uphill stretch, it's going to be crawl. Indeed it was but I kept my focus on. The next stop was at my maternal uncle's place. My aunt asked me to have breakfast, I declined and moved on. The last few kilometers were slow because I inside streets to avoid traffic. The inside roads are ups and downs. I realized the chain and gears need oiling badly. Also they had taken on lot of dust, Montra needs a nice pressure wash.

I was elated when Zeopoxa showed 102 km in front of out apartment gate. Finally a 100 km ride happened. Here are a few screen-shots from Zeopoxa. Google Fit had stopped tracking for some reason, on analyzing the issue, it looked like the software mistook this bicycle ride for a motorcycle ride! I deleted the listing and made a manual entry but the app is still hooked on to older data. I'll check again, maybe there's a way to fix it.

Bicycle ride at Navalur Gudda

Our friend Srinu's visit to our home was long pending. We were happy when he messaged about his plan to spend a few days with us. Srinu drove down from Hyderabad on Aug 24th, reached Pushpa's office by 6-45 pm and came home around 7-20 pm. Nothing was planned for the following day except that we went to meet Mama who had met Srinu once in Aug 2014. The next day i.e. Aug 26th Saturday, we went to Neerasagar reservoir, spent a few hours there and returned home for lunch. Sunday mornings is reserved for bicycling. with so many interesting trails I was wondering what direction to go. I decided on Navalur Gudda, a woody hill about 3 km from our place. I'd bicycled on Navalur hill a couple of times, I knew it would be fun. Pushpa hadn't been to this hill yet.

Sunday morning, we woke up early and set to start the ride at 5-30. We rode along Chigari bus track and took the service road to Navalur village. BTW, Navalur is my maternal great grandfather's native. We cut across the village, navigating its narrow lanes. Once out of the village, we took a dirt track which goes around the base of the hill which is 1.4 km long and 0.5 km at its widest point. The hill has been fenced by Karnataka forest department. It is being converted into a eco park on the same lines as Sanjivini Park. At the southern end of the hill is the gate which is open currently. Probably entry will be restricted to fixed hours once the ongoing work is done. Another dirt track starts at the gate and runs along the fence. We stopped about half a kilometer into the track.

From this point, the track is uphill, gradual at the beginning and steeper as it goes deeper into the woods. I was riding Montra, a hybrid bicycle not really meant for this terrain. Srinu and Pushp were on MTBs, ideal for this terrain. The slimmer Hybrid tires can slip easily and every bump could be felt. The MTB tires neutralized almost every bump or ditch and felt stable. Perhaps, you could read the blog post MTB vs Hybrid to know how different these bikes are.

Navalur hill has two peaks, I'll call them eastern and western peaks. The latter being higher than the former. On the eastern peak is a small temple called as Basavanna Gudi and on the western peak is a watch tower. My plan was to go towards the Basavanna Gudi and take a break. Srinu suggested we go to the watch tower. The narrow trail going up the slope had a lot of loose pebbles, riding uphill would be dicey. However, Srinu went up three-fourth way and gave up. Pushp and I parked our bicycles and walked up.

Looking in the northerly direction. On the northern and eastern sides of this hill are black soil plains as far as eyes can see. Pushp and I have a couple of bicycling routes there as well.

Panning to the right; Basavanna Gudi comes into view. Suryadeva is breaking through the clouds.

This is the south-easterly view. In a distance are two groups of buildings- those are SDM Medical College and SDM Dental College campuses -both are situated off Dharwad-Hubballi road. Between the hill and Dharwad-Hubballi road are agricultural plots, housing layouts, a small industrial area and Navalur Railway Station.

Great views from the watch tower. Time to leave.

A few pictures before leaving.

Upward ride is one thing but downward ride can be too risky. The loose pebbles can play havoc with balance & control. Safer to walk it down.

Thanks to the forest department for the watch tower. And a request to all visitors not to litter and mess up this beautiful place.

We retraced the dirt track back to the gate and exited. Instead of going along the eastern side i.e. the way we came here, we took another route to Navalur village. We entered the village again and exited on the lake side, passed through numerous housing layouts and hit Dharwad-Hubballi road.

Here's the route of our 16 km ride tracked by Google Fit. The lower loop is around half of Navalur  & Navalur Gudda.

Though a short ride, this would remain one of the memorable ones.

80km cross-country bicycle ride

July 30, 2023. Sunday mornings we usually take out our MTBs and  go for 20+ or 30+ km rides. This Sunday Pushpa had to drop out so it would be a solo ride. When I go solo, I take out my Montra Downtown, a hybrid bicycle. I was up at 3-45 AM and ready to start the ride at 4-30 AM. I had no particular route in mind until I rode the first 100m and then decided to head towards IIT and Chikkamalligwad which would be a 30+ km ride. I took my usual route... KCD Circle, Police HQ, Pepsi factory, Agri University, join NH48. The shortcut to IIT is to take the service road and go behind KPTCL station. However, I continued riding on NH48 until the exit to Belur Indl Area. The industrial area is peaceful at 5-30 AM, I rode past CEDOK and then the Fire Station and headed towards Uflex and joined the straight road to IIT. It was silent except for peacocks calling out somewhere far away. At IIT entrance I turned right, went around its border wall towards Chikka Malligwad village. A kilometer before CMalligwad there's a junction. I stopped at the junction pondering which way to go... CMalligwad or take the other road and join Dhawrad-Goa state highway (SH34). The time was 6-00 and cycling app Zeopoxa  showed 25km. I decided to go towards CMalligwad village and continued riding towards Kelageri village via the dirt road running parallel to Hubli-Dharwad bypass road which is part of NH48. I was pondering if I should head back into the city and go home or take SH34 and go to Mugad. At Kelageri I challenged myself to ride more and headed towards Mugad on SH34. At Mugad cross, instead of turning off, I continued on SH34, I had plans of touching Alnavar. This is where I thought of breaking my 70km record which was set in Feb 2022 during the Dharwad to Kittur to Dharwad ride. 

From here, altitude drops every kilometer which means the return journey would be a long uphill ride.

A kilometer after Mugad cross, at the end of a downhill stretch, there were badly made speed bumps, I had to slow down, then a sudden uphill stretch. The scenery was great, lush green forests and paddy fields but I preferred to look at the road for oncoming traffic and also listen to vehicles at the back. Finally I stopped for one picture at this milestone, had a sip of water and continued.  

The left most 2' of the road is an extension job, it wasn't as smooth at the original road. Being a slow moving object on the road, I had to stick to the left hence the ride was a little rough. The other thing was frequent speed bumps, bad patches and gravel on the road. I had to be wary of traffic before making sudden turns to avoid rough spots. I started feeling this road isn't really bicycle friendly.

At Honnapur, I stopped to inquire about the road to Kalakeri. That would be my Plan-B in case I abort the ride to Alnavar which was another 15 km from here. I continued on SH34, most of the way was downhill, road condition was getting worse with every kilometer. At the end of a km long downhill stretch was Aravatgi, I went a little further until Madakikoppa cross. Here I decided to abort the ride to Alnavar since the weather was warmer, road was dustier due to heavy traffic. I turned around 

starting the return leg. The kilometer long uphill stretch was a real challenge and Honnapur was still 5 km away. In about 20 minutes I was back at Honnapur, I decided to leave SH34 and take the peaceful inner roads. I was familiar with Kalakeri - Dharwad road, it's a silent stretch. Honnapur - Kalakeri road too was silent, almost zero traffic, road was curvy and undulating. This road is better known as Aranya Homestay road. Two kilometers into this rural road, a big pond came into view, I was tempted to stop for a photo, but continued riding. Just after the lake, the tar road ended, a dirt track started which was flanked by thick jungles. The dirt track was soft, like clay. Luckily heavier traffic had left tracks and it was convenient to ride in those tire tracks. This is the point I realized that this route was better suited for a MTB.

Having done 50+ km and 20+ to go I was in no mood for stop n start since the remaining 20+ was mostly uphill. 'The dirt track in the jungle' scene was too good and I missed taking a photo of it. Anyway, I was glad when Kalakeri bus-stand came to view. I stopped here realizing how badly I was dehydrated. I refilled my water can and drank until I felt better. At the bus-stand was this blue walled chah angadi. I had two tiny glasses of tea, it was so sugar saturated that additional sugar wouldn't have dissolved. I bought a pack of Parle-G just in case. I had no cash on me and BSNL was out of coverage here. Great! I had to borrow the shopkeeper's internet connection to make the payment via GPay. Thankfully the shopkeeper was familiar with mobile hotspot.

BTW, Kalakeri is known for a music school. The school produces its own electricity with solar panels. I wish to see that place but not this day. The ride continued at a steady pace, the next village on the way was Kyarkoppa. This stretch is peaceful, all we hear is birds, insects and frogs. About half a kilometer before Kyarkoppa Gudda, an uphill stretch is a challenge. Until now every time I've passed by this Gudda, I visit the Basavanna Gudi atop Kyarkoppa Gudda. My legs were aching little, had a feeling of cramps, for a moment I thought of skipping the temple but then I couldn't say no to Jodi Basavanna. The uphill dirt track to the temple was steeper than anything I rode today, especially the last 20' is a challenge. Now having ridden 60+, my leg muscles screamed, I almost stalled but I pushed and made it to the top. While I rode the level ground around the temple I realized how deep was my breathing was. At the temple front I stopped and got off the bike, legs were stuff, I was tempted to sit but remained standing. I realized the mistake of not sipping water at regular intervals, now I was dehydrated and my legs' condition was indescribable.

I submitted Namaskara to Basavanna and fished out the Parle-G from my bag. I noticed a dog there, it seemed to be lonely, may be hungry too. I took half the biscuits and slowly approached it, thankfully the biscuits were accepted. We ate together, then I gave a few more from my share, the dog just ate expressing no emotions. I drank some more water and restarted the ride. The downhill ride had to be taken with brakes on all the time. Back on the road, another 700m long uphill ride. My legs were crazy, they were stiff, parts of the feet & toes were numb, seriously it was a torturous time. I had to manage 10+ more kilometers. After the 700m uphill part, it was more or less level ground, I picked up pace here. This rural road joins SH28 i.e. Dharwad-Haliyal road. For a couple of kilometers this road is crowded.. vehicular and human traffic, it's almost like Dharwad market. With my leg muscles howling, I was scared where I'll lose control and run into something. I dreaded one last uphill stretch from CB Nagar cross to KCD Circle but I had no choice. Legs were stiffening and screaming but I kept pushing. When I reached KCD circle, I was ecstatic, almost like the ride was done.

From KCD Circle I headed to Jubilee Circle and then to Line Bazar Hanuman Gudi. Whenever we are in this part of the town, we make it a point to pass by Hanuman Gudi. Today I thanked for the strength & stamina... Jai Hanuman!

Home was just a couple of kilometers, the minutes flashed by and I was home. I leaned my Montra on its stand, stopped the ride in Zeopoxa which said 80.27km in 5hr 27 min. Then I took slow steps, I might have looked like a robot learning to walk. It took several minutes for the leg muscles to relax, then I locked & covered the bicycles and climbed four floors to home. Pushpa made fresh tea, one mug each, we chatted about the ride over tea. Here are the snapshots from my phone.. routes in Google Fit and Zeopoxa.

And these snapshots are Distance & Speed stats in Zeopoxa.

Lessons of the morning:

Better to take MTB while exploring unknown rural roads
Take a 3 min break every hour and sip water during the break.

Carry an extra can of water of the ride is going to be 30+.

Sugar and salt in water is a must for long rides.

Guru Madiwaleshwara Gudi, Garag

A thought of bicycle ride to Garagada Guru Madiwaleshwara Mata had formed. Somehow the it was decided to just after Amavasya night.

December 24, 2022 I left home around 3-30 AM. I had ridden upto Garag cross on Dharwad-Belagavi highway. It would be the first time I'm venturing on Garag road. On this road are Tata group's two factories, an ancillary unit, Karnataka State Forest Academy, Forest Department Nursery and a nonfunctional distillery. On reaching Garag, I take one of the lanes leading to the Mata. The village was still sleepy, just a few dogs guarding their lanes. It was 4-50 when I reached the Mata. A group of 3 or 4 people were singing bhajan, probably it was an all night bhajan. This is the temple which houses Guru Madiwaleshwara's Samadhi.

Sri Guru Madiwaleshwara was a XIX Century saint, a contemporary of Shishunala Sharief. He is very well known and popular in north Karnataka. Garag Jatre is attended by devotees from Maharashtra. Guru Madiwaleshwara's parents are unknown, he was found in a banana plantation as an infant. He was adopted by Kittur Desai since the family had no children. He was an enlightened Atma even as a very young kid. Later when a son was born into Kittur Desai family, Madiwaleshwara was neglected and eventually insulted. Madiwaleshwara curses Kittur Desai family and leaves Kittur. He comes to Hangarki Desai who receives him with respect and donates land besides the stream here. Madiwaleshwara establishes a Mata here. The Mata building is just opposite this temple.

The old building of the Mata has been demolished for renovation purpose. I was a little disappointed to see the changes, but then changes take place.

The return journey started at 5-00 AM. On the way back, at Airtech junction, I changed the route towards Kelageri. I took a circuitous route back home and made it a 50+ km ride.

60 km solo ride to Kusugal-Byahatti

Ever since we took to cycling in March 2021, most of our rides have been on the northern and western sides of Dharwad, except for one ride to Hubli and a few rides towards IIIT which is in between Dharwad and Hubli. Mid of April I got an idea of going towards Kusugal and Byahatti. I was familiar with the roads out there but I checked the distance on Google Maps to fix the start time. The route: Dharwad to Hubli to Kusugal to Byahatti to Dharwad. It would be a 60 km ride, I decided to start around 3-30 am on April 30th.

I woke up at 3-00 AM, ready to leave by 3-35. As I stepped towards our building gate, I could feel rain drops, little wet patches were seen clearly on the ground. It was windy as well. For a moment I thought of waiting until rain ceased. No, let me proceed. Rainfall was light. Two minutes later, on the Dharwad-Hubli road, the intensity increased. I stopped under a petrol bunk shelter. It was confusing... is it raining widely... one look at the sky... no, it's just passing rain. I resumed. 3.5 kms further i.e. as I passed by SDM Dental College. Glad I left the rain behind :)

The road to Hubli was a familiar one, well lit and mostly downhill, it was a easy ride. As I exited Hubli, I stopped for a minute to have a sip of water. The road to Kusugal was flat, I maintained a good speed. I entered Kusugal, rode through the narrow streets, villagers were up, sweeping the fronts of their homes, and dogs were still on duty. A few dogs gave suspicious looks, some growled, some chased a few meters... part of riding through a village. In a couple of minutes I was out of Kusugal, heading towards Byahatti. Weather was cool, more or less flat roads, progress was consistent. As I entered Byahatti, I got a glimpse of the village's iconic clock tower. This village is a junction of four roads... Kusugal, Hebsur, Tirlapur and Dharwad. A stretch of pot-holed road is a permanent feature of Byahtti-Dharwad road. The other feature of this road is its straightness. A kilometer from Byahatti, started feeling the resistance of headwind, it blew head on. After a few kilometers I realized the road was a constant uphill stretch. I was hoping the wind ceased but there was no let up. I wanted to take a break but continued until a Neem tree was spotted. Around the 42nd kilometer I found a Neem tree on the edge of a field.

looking towards Dharwad

My leg muscles relaxed during the short break. I sipped water, got a rainwater washed Neem stick, stuck it into my mouth and resumed the ride. The bitter taste was a pleasant diversion from the exertion of riding into the wind. I chewed on the stick for 15 to 20 minutes. I remember throwing away the stick just outside Somapur. The uphill continued and the wind got stronger. At times it felt as if I was wrestling with Vayudeva. With some 10 or 12 km to go, I took another break. This was mainly to get a shot of this green tunnel.

I was hoping to cover the last bit non-stop but the force of wind got stronger as I came closer to Dharwad. With 5 or 6 kilometers to go, the wind was so forceful I almost came to a standstill. I stopped in front of a fabrication unit, stretched my legs and sipped water, Within couple of minutes I resumed the ride. Once inside the city effect of wind was not much. I took my usual route back home which includes passing by Line Bazar Hanuman Gudi. Back home, I hurriedly parked, locked and covered my bike. My left foot was hurting because of the tightness. The side of left foot starts hurting after 3 or 4 hours of intense pedaling. The only way to relax is remove shoes.

Sipping hot tea I went through the 3 apps- Zeopoxa, Google Fit and Zepp Life. Below are the screenshots of the ride summary from all three. I had enabled auto-pause in Zeopoxa and Zepp Life. No such option in Google Fit.

Notice the straight line in my route- that's the stretch between Shivalli and Dharwad.

Zepp Life records heart beat rate through MI smart band - a gift from my brother.

Almost a kilometer difference in the distance between the 3 apps. Need to research more on this aspect. Anyway, for the record, I go with Zeopoxa data since that has been my first tracking app.

This ride is the most difficult of all my rides. Even my 70 km Dharwad-Kittur-Dharwad ride wasn't so tiring. Wind has been a major resistance factor. Talking of wind reminds me of Madhugiri hill climb back in December 2011. Do see Madhugiri and read about my experience at Madhugiri fort.

Zeopoxa Cycling versus Google Fit

I've been using Google Fit and Zeopoxa for quite a few months now. GFit tracked my walking while Zeopoxa tracked bicycle rides. Both apps are user friendly and provide just the right information, However I hadn't explored GFit features as much as Zeopoxa. Google Fit tracked only my walks, couple of weeks ago I noticed that even my cycle rides had been tracked since June 2021. Since then I started comparing the details in both apps, there are slight differences in the values, only in decimals. Having studied the apps for weeks, I got an idea of sharing my observations here.

Zeopoxa menu has the following options: Activity, Statistics, Challenges, Records, History, Overall, etc. The ones mentioned here are the ones I access regularly. At the beginning of a ride, an activity has to be initiated by touching "Start" and at the end of the ride touch "End." The tracking can be paused during breaks and resumed later using the "Pause" and "Resume" options.

This is the history tab- a list of all rides. The app also allows manual entry in case you missed initiating a ride. Touching the red circle with plus mark opens the Manual Entry form. Just enter the details and save - an entry is created. While a tracked entry includes the route, elevation gain & elevation loss, a manual entry will not have this information.

Moving on to the Statistics tab. By default the weekly stats are shown. To see monthly, yearly, or all rides data, touch "More Data." The Yearly view shows month-wise breakup and All shows year-wise breakup.

This is an individual activity... details of the ride in one glance. There are four tabs here, the default tab is seen below. The other tabs gives elevation vs speed data, speed vs time data & the last tab shows details like bike type, heart beat, weather, workout, etc. The last tab is something I've never bothered to explore.

This is the "Speed vs Time" comparison.

This is the "Elevation vs Speed" comparison. The top speed of the ride is shown.

Zeopoxa data is stored on your phone, so it's important to save backup files to an online storage. Zeopoza creates a backup at the end of every session, the files can be viewed under Files > Zeopoxa in your phone. I upload the files to my Google Drive once a week. If required one could do it daily. In case you factory reset your phone, you can upload the backup files and view historical data of your workouts. Restore option is available under Settings.

Moving on to Google Fit. Below is the home screen.

Google Fit tracks walks and rides on its own however it misses out distances at times. So it's better to manually track activities. Touch the plus icon on the home screen to see below screen.

Touch 'Track workout' to initiate an activity. Here you record a number of sports activities like walking, running, cycling, aerobics, jumping, etc. Remember to end the session at once your workout is done. The recorded activity can be viewed in the Journal.

The navigation to the 4 tabs are at the bottom of the screen. In this screen-shot, two rides and one walk is shown, scrolling down will all tracked activities in the reverse chronological order. 

Below is the view of an individual activity... the route and summary. Distance, duration & average speed are common between Zeopoxa and GFit.

Clicking on the map will enlarge the route to full screen and back button will restore this view.

Scrolling down the activity screen will reveal the Speed vs Time comparison. This data is presented in the same way in both Zeopoxa and GFit.

GFit allows editing a saved activity where as Zeopoxa doesn't allow that. GFit shows individual activities and weekly summaries. Monthly, Yearly and Overall stats is not available, i.e. to my knowledge.

I like both Zepoxa Cycling and GFit equally. And I'll continue to track my activities in both. Statistics in both match more or less except for minor differences in distance ridden and top speed. This difference, of course reflects in the average speed. The differences shouldn't matter to amateur  like me.

Disclaimer: This is purely a personal view. This post is not be considered as promotion or expert review of any app mentioned here.
