I've been doing the Rowing Lake segment on a 13kg+ SS; its too flat and busy with peds for gears to be much of an advantage anywayI'm going to try for PB tomorrow morning, no chance of KOM on my single speed

I also think I'll be hungover

Ive got 5 segments on light trails that im 1-2 seconds off the KOM, same guy every time too although mostly only 1-2 miles long. He's clearly faster than me, hardly speeds up for the segments where as I tend to go out to a segment with favourable wind direction, conserving energy then blasting it as a sprint - still it seems to work as some kind of interval training.

I was going up Long Hill this morning. I can't seem to get that KOM of Mike Cumming lol
All I need to do is work out how to sustain an extra 50 watts for 15 minutes and lose about two stone of me and the bike.
We probably passed each other. I was on it shortly before 10 doing mad speeds towards Whaley.

I was riding up it about 10:30 so probably just missed you. Surprised there weren't more people out tbh and on The Cat as well, only saw a couple of other riders.

The weather forecast was patchy. I knew I would do best if I went early. Maybe others were worried.
Bagged another 10 miles his morning on the same basis. Monday will be awful.

Hey, I got a KOM!!! 
However, I am ranked 1/1
so i am te only person to have done it. what I don't understand is that I thought you could onlydefine segments from a completed ride, and I didn'tdefine tis seg myself. So someone else did, but hasn't done it ??? Me no understand

You can create a route using the dawing tool from another website, download the route as a gpx file, upload the gpx file to strava and then create a section from that even though you haven't ridden it.

I tried that a while ago, strava didn't like route only (no other data, ie time) gpx files and couldn't process them.

gpx files from some older websites are incompatible, but gpx files from Breadcrumbs work, I know I've tried it.

Somebody near here has created a segment from their workplace to their front door. I'm still tempted to try for KOM though...

had a ride out yesterday on MTB with guy new to cycling,,was explaining the uses and benefits of Strava, when he asked a question that had never occured to me :-/,,,
when Strava is tracking u on your I phone for instance, does it use your data download allowance?? or does GPS not work that way

Cool, I'll give that a try.
There's one segment on my commute I'm trying to create but strava keeps on hanging, I though it was too close to home so I chopped it back to half a mile away and it still hangs.
