Told a few mates about Strava and everyone's gone mad about it, taking there bikes to the top of hills and trying to get fastest down hills. One of them hasn't ridden for a year due to passing his test, plugged up his gps and has 1st 2nd and 3rd's all over the place from last years rides. I told them about it and i'm the only one without a gps yet lol.

So the LBS is sorting my pringled wheel, should have it back later today! Milage munching will re-commence on Sunday (giving my knee a rest as it is a bit sore)! Currently sitting at 47% completion on the Skratch Labs challenge, I imagine by Sunday I will have slipped some way down the league tables (I am only interested in the UK tables really since work/family habits/commitments are more comparable within a nation than worldwide) already slipped out of the top 25!

Sunday has a horrific forecast here, so bad the Macc Monster sportive had to be cancelled.

Going to rest on Saturday, my knee is a bit sore, I think I need to fine tune my fit since my saddle changed and I seem to ride in a different position.

If all else fails, I will claim victory over my club members who are registered (there is only 5 of us signed on) to make myself feel better, hah :tongue:

Managed to regain a KoM today that I had been trading top spot with another rider for a while. here

It is at the start of my ride, so sadly the rest of the ride seemed to suffer from too many beans too early. Ho hum, another KoM though and an updated signature. Was hoping to challenge for one more on the way back, but too windy for that today.:whistle: (that's as close as we have to a windy emoticon)

My first commute today using Strava !
4 segments on my ride in, didn't get close to any top 10's due to a strong headwind but should work in my favour on the journey home !
There is one hilly segment on the way home that I'm going to try for a top 10 !

........watch this space !

Did it ! Got a good 5th place on the segment in question !
Also managed a 4th place on a section of the Southmead Rd thanks to a tow from fellow roadie !!!

I created a segment to use as my own personal TT but thought I might as well make it public, turns out it appears to be a regular route for a bunch of people! Http://app.strava.com/segments/2472857

I doubt I'll have it for long though, several of the 'big hitters' on the Ippo scene appear to have dawdled through my new segment, I'm fairly sure they'll rinse me as soon as they realise my little training segment exists. fark 'em :smile:
