Silly STRAVA Racing

Is it me or is there a distinct lack of offroad mountain bike stuff on strava.
I've created 2 x 20 mile segments along the peddars way in norfolk (northbound and southbound).

I'm about to add one for my ride from wisbech to kings lynn (normally 12 miles) but using all offroad
tracks (4 miles on tarmac, 18 on mud/grass).

There aren't many around here, but the ones that are there are pretty hardcore!

Is there a segment for the llanberis path climb up snowdon?
Just thinking of other cycling segments i could add.

I noticed the Marin Trail is on it, but I haven't uploaded my ride on that as I am sheeeite on trails!

You could always ride it once and then flag it as dangerous due to the amount of lights / junctions etc

I don't want to say his name on here as this forum performs well in search engines, but his first name rhymes with goo and his surname with bendy. I should point out that he's a top chap and this is just a bit of delicious fun!

Lol, I think it took longer to read than the KOM to cycle

Got 2 new "Armchair KoM's" this week. 2 new segments created, not by me I hasten to add. Pretty good on one of em too. I remember chasing down another roadie to get on his wheel. Perfect timing for a segment I didn't know existed.

Did some cracking times tonight... Just a shame that Strava only decided to record the first 29 seconds of the ride

I keep on getting your KOM has been beaten on segments other folk have created, I think today's was a ride with Scoosh to Billy Bislands 3 years ago, the segment was after 40 odd miles into a headwind, I doubt I'd been KOM since then
