Silly STRAVA Racing

I've got a time of 44 mins to climb Holme moss haha it nearly killed me

It took me less than 15 mins to actually climb it (waiting on the email with official times), just happens that I was within the strava segment warming up going back and forth on the 1st section before starting from the start line and hitting the end of the strava segment at the top.

Strava has turned my normally sedate cycle to work, into some quite serious interval training !
Already have 1 KOM and a few top tens

lol, Strava has me up at about 43 mins to ascend Holme Moss, so I look like a right pussy.

It's such a slow time because I rode up and down the 1st 0.1 mile repeatedly to warm up for a Hill Climb before actually heading for the top!

STRAVA excuse #46

got my KOM back from SD.. didn't think I had it, so went for another attempt and that was ruined by some traffic :/

SEE!!! .... Now you lot have done it !!!
I'm not enjoying the ride anymore - each outing is a race for a top ten finish. New segments are popping up near me all the time .... I end up riding that way for no reason than to race!!!!
A friend of mine calls me "golfer" - she reckons i'm one of those that would ( younger,money,sponsors,fitness & talent) love to be a pro rider :laugh

After a couple of rest days (a.k.a the weekend) I decided to have another pop at getting back a segment I lost a while back, was proper chuffed that even although I was trying to sprint in the drops (and was thinking to myself how badly I sucked at sprinting in the drops) I managed to get back KOM! woot http://app.strava.com/segments/1850653

Look how slow the last guy is on this segment

Wish people would be a little more sensible when creating segments and have them finish a bit before a junction or traffic light so backed up traffic doesn't impact on the time so much. I suppose i could flag the segment as dangerous then replace it with one that finishes 10 metres earlier...but it feels like bad form doing that unless i am KOM!

It'll be safe enough for a while (from me, at least). Out of town next weekend, so no club run and therefore - no riding through Woodcote
