To be fair only ridden it two or three times and do not even know where it starts and finishes (Excuse 103 from the Strava Excuse Book)

The Box Hill segments have over 3,700 riders and over 20,000 attempts
 
I've been a garmin connect user for 2 years, but am gradually uploading gpx files from old rides to strava.
Also current rides are logged/shared on the strava app running on my phone.

Lots of tiny segments local to me, and suddenly i find i'm number 4 out of 72 over a particular local road
that lots of people "use".
My best time along this segment was 19 months ago.

Not sure if you are aware, but a relatively quicker way to transfer files is to load them onto your garmin and transfer them that way.

Not at all, I'm astounded by the amount of segments I've cycled without knowing. I reckon a LOT more segments must have been created in the last few months around these parts.
I did mean I have been having a peep at 400hp Veloviewer in an an attempt to carry on the game of Strava top trumps.... :laugh:

I just got a notification that I lost a KOM. But I didn't even know the segment existed! Must be one of those that someone created recently and I got a backdated KOM on.

Anyway, the blighter took 23 seconds off me over 4.8km, so I reckon it's within reach - especially having seen the way it looks on raceshape.

It's this one if anyone's interested.

Was on course to extend a KOM i already held last night (a 3 mile flat segment) and got a puncture just before the end. That is unfortunate in itself but It seems one of the guys that passed me while fixing this puncture nabbed it by 2 seconds. Godamnit!

If only he'd slowed slightly to ask if i was alright i'd still have it (which frankly is the polite thing to do IMO). Revenge will be sweet - i now have a list of KOM times to target over the next couple of weeks :biggrin:
