I am trying to download a .fit file onto my bolt so i can ride the workout outdoors. I have tried all options and all I get back is a failed download saying “failed gpx file” ??? why is the .fit file being changed to a gpx file?? I download the file from the email I get teling me the file is ready. I click on the file which then asks me if I want to import the “ROUTE” into the elemnt app which is do and get the above messge back. Any ideas please? I have a TT coming up and use “Igniter” as my warm up… thanks

You want an outdoor workout synced?

I don’t think that putting a fit file will do that.

If you have it on your SYSTM or Training Peaks calendar it should show up in the Workouts section on the ELEMNT ready to ride menu.

Thanks, just getting my head around it! Does it only appear in the planned workouts on the day it is on the calendar and then disappear the next day. I have managed to get to show in the planned workouts by adding it to the calendar today but is there any way I can get it to stay there of do I have to add it every time I ant to ride it .

Cheers  
Paul

Stuff in the adjacent days also shows up, it’s not just on the calendar for today

But yeah I miss the ability to have some “favorite” workouts that are always synced. I’ve suggested that as well.
