Hmmm yeh looks sus. The speed itself is not unlikely it's the fact that the cadence and HR are obviously not reading. Also the elevation on his section is different to everyone elses. WTF?? Weird.
If you have not already click on the date next to his KOM and on that page flag the ride and give reasons for. I get the feeling you have already done it this way though.

Already done-email will be sent to strava.

a fella took one of my downhill kom's so i sent him a message saying he could keep it till the weekend then id have it back, looking for the banter and he just replied 'ok' i broke a spoke before going at it so i sent him another message saying he can keep it a little longer, at least until i get the spoke fixed and again he just said 'ok'. where is the competitive spirit i hear so much strava encourages????

Well that is the Skratch labs challenge complete.

Was a good motivation to get some base miles in

Same here - seen a few others chasing it hard from the CC group. 2 days left to go... come on!!!

Got a KOM today on a downhill segment I rarely ride. What I had forgotten was that the road surface was sheeite. I won't be riding that again in a hurry.

This ^^^ is what i have to stop doing. I have about 6 or 7 downhill KOM's. I only do the segment twice as it's too bloody risky. Once to check it out and once to nail it at full tilt. On more than one occasion the back wheel has slid out on random grit on the road when cornering hard. I need to stop treating my road bike as if it is a bmx.

Brrrppp!

Has anyone had a follow request from someone who rides the same areas as you but you don't know them?
I just had one from a chap who is bloody fast around here and I wonder if he has sent it just to see and then nick my KOM's. I don't mind other forum members following me or people I have ridden with as there is that link but a total stranger is a bit odd.

I've seen that, I don't accept them just so they can't see my KOM's :P

Right then, yesterday I lost the KOM I gained because I deleted the ride data from my phone and uploaded the GPX file from my Holux.

Today I fixed it by going out and riding even faster than I did when I got the KOM yesterday http://app.strava.com/segments/2363581

Yes-Terence Santo. Seemed like a nice bloke (from profile and some ride comments) so why not (plus I'd taken a fair few of his KoM's). Some of his rides were comical. Trail looked like spaghetti (strava bashing).

You've seen how quick Andy Harrison is haven't you-he'd already taken most of my KoM's so didn't feel there was a problem with him following me
