I know, I was happier being Captain Slow, not used to being competitive

Colin- No way am I competing on a Lard Power segment, maybe a nice 1% drag

 

[fossyant]

Captain fast soon Potsy. No excuses. Lean and mean.

I'm worried about getting too fit ... After all the teasing, it's not that I wouldn't like to rip you guys' legs off, I just think if I try too hard I'll be more likely to rip my own gammy leg off!

I certainly got a work out yesterday. Went out for a gentle 30 odd miles and ended up nearly coughing a lung up on the four hills on the ride. Improved on all four, but I'm not sure of the point of beating my own KOM on one of them.

I am lucky that there are less strava addicts up here in the frozen north. Some of you look as if you have some seriously fast competition.

I'm getting very uncompetitive, I'm 27th on this list. The only thing that's consoling is I'm on a steel folder with 16inch wheels. What was cool on the way up a cop car over took and after I got to the top I pulled into a police station as they had a map outside and the police man walked round the building and was well impressed but tbh, I think the extremely high cadence made it seem like I was going faster than I was.

Respect. When will you be going fixed on the 16" folding bike, just to make it a bit harder?

The fixie is next week hopefully but with normal size wheels (a Viking is on order).

Looking closer at the segment it contains a u'turn on the roundabout at the start, I've made one that's the climb only and make it on the 1st page of that just (at the moment).

Maybe there should a separate segment for bso folding bikes
Just for you and NT's 'Granville'

I just got back in to find it has dropped gps on two sections where I was on one Thought I had nailed the A34 Alderley bypass southbound expecting a top 5. And relax......... Nice 40 miler on a lovely day. (note to self don't take Strava to seriously)

Oh that's tough as long as it's just a bit of fun

Having only up to now used the Garmin to record my rides, can somebody tell me whether the Strava phone app automatically uploads your rides or do you get the choice of which rides to include?

 

[Hacienda71]

You get the choice to save or discard.

Fat frying machine.

Whilst looking around Strava FAQ, the segments rely on the accuracy of the persons GPS unit that created them which is strange, would have thought map data was used.
