Suppose i'll do that then, feels a bit like cheating

How do you hide the old segment?

How do you hide the old segment?

make it private ... Or delete it.

I didnt make the segment

That's not cheating, it will repopulate the segment from all the historic rides so nobody should miss out

I deleted a segment yesterday that I created - had a bit of a running battle with another cyclist where we have swapped KoM a few times. He took it back on Tuesday by 2 seconds (1:58 IIRC) about 23 mph. I then did it on the way home yesterday and smashed his time, averaged about 25-26 as I had half an eye on my garmin. Got home and it had logged 2:33 for the segment. The issue was that the segment finished very close to some lights. As I was waiting at the lights it clearly thought i hadn't finished the segment.

I deleted it, then recreated it to be a bit shorter. The good thing is that the guy is still KoM on the recreated segment (by 1 second) so I haven't taken his away unfairly.

I suspect it might confuse him to see his KoM was done in July, rather than his latest ride on that segment (this Tuesday)

I did the same on a segment I created for similar reasons - I felt a bit bad about it because I'd lost the KOM to another rider and I was worried he'd think I'd deleted it for that reason. Especially when his name didn't appear in the recreated segment and I was KOM again! Oops!

Turned out it was just the system being slow to update and after a while, he reappeared back in top spot again - but only temporarily, mind, until I get the opportunity to have another go at it and reclaim by legitimate means what is rightfully mine...

d.

Likewise

 

[Nebulous]

Got to be gutted at that! 1 second on a 7.7 mile segment!

I've got one where I'm KOM by 1 second, which is 20 miles long! I didn't know it was a segment, but my legs were on fire on a 40 mile ride and it felt really good. I uploaded it and there it was .

 

[Peter Armstrong]

Yeah! 3 KOM in one ride last night!

 

[lb81]

Created my account last night and uploaded the data. There are 5 segments on my commute and i am around mid table on all of them. Oh dear i can see this turning in to something of an obsession...

 

[400bhp]

I've lost 8 KoM's in the last week

 

[lejogger]

I've lost 8 KoM's in the last week

8? I'd be devastated.

I lost one yesterday... it was one of those I'd held for a while and I'd got used to having around. Maybe I took it for granted, I didn't spend as much time with it as I should have done - got complacent. It came as a complete shock to receive the email to say that it was now residing with someone else. I thought we'd be together forever...

 

[Peter Armstrong]

Ha Ha, lost 8, supose if you have alot its hard to keep, I went over a couple of my on KOM and increased them by a few seconds, gotta watch out for those sneaky pro's

 

[400bhp]

Nah-all part of it. WGAF really.

The good thing is, [I believe] all are well within my capabilities to retreive-just a question of when....
