Is there a Strava CycleChat club? I've searched but can't find one.

It used to be that a club required a specific location upon creation but a quick test shows they seem to have relaxed that rule. We could have a CycleChat club with the location of "United Kingdom" if it's not there already.

Grumble moan moan. Was going for a segment today called Golf Course to crossing, which i believed ended at a level crossing. I am currently 2nd and was planning my ascent to KoM. Saved my legs all ride as it is near the end and then gave it beans. The segment is around a mile and a half and approach the end and level crossing I could see a queue of cars. Not to worry I think, I should have it in the bag and filtered around them, happily knowing there would be nothing coming the other way. The crossing was down so I got to the front and waited. As it happened the crossing was broken and I had to give you and go a different way home. On getting home I eagerly checked Strava only to find this segment was listed.

It seems that the segment actually goes through the level crossing, despite its name. Grrr. Cross. Cross.

I shan't be listing it as hazardous, as I am not a joyless person who believes that people are not capable of rationale thought, but will hope I am a little luckier next time. Maybe I will check the train time table...

Had there been an appropriately place ramp, I would have probably have tried to clear any trains coming.

Lost a KOM yesterday, and found my average speed over the segment of 23.9 had been smashed by the new 'King' - 44mph average!

Checking his 'ride' showed him hitting a max speed of 90mph. Perhaps some people got confused by the pictures and thought motorbikes counted!

Easiest KOM I've ever retaken! Flagged and removed.

Got 2 new "Armchair KoM's" this week. 2 new segments created, not by me I hasten to add.

A clear sign that Strava is getting more and more popular - loads of new segments being created all the time on my regular routes. And I'm KOM on lots of them!

Mind you, the first I know of most of them is when I get the notification that I've lost the crown... Grrr! Need to pay closer attention to stravaviewer.
