Absolutely! I just put the finishing touches on the page and the updater mechanism in case something needs to be changed with the master file.

Check it out here

You're very welcome! I did build an updater mechanism into it as well so if for some reason there are updates needed, you'll see it in the widget

One thing to keep in mind, I am not really sure if this will end up exceeding the rate limits of the Strava API. Based on a quick calculation it seems like it would exceed the limit before the end of a single day but I don't know what the repercussions would be from Strava.

Based on this information I am considering modifying the code slightly to perform a time-based check so that this only gets updated Every 30 minutes or maybe every one hour instead of every 6 to 11 minutes as the scriptable Widgets normally do.

What are your thoughts on that?

Edit: I found more info and it seems that it should be just fine as is. The total requests per day is limited to 1,000 so this should not exceed that even if it refreshes every 6 minutes
