Silly STRAVA Racing

Plenty of Strava fun this last week. Am three seconds off the KOM from the summit of Buxton Road to Elnor Lane, which is frustrating. However, I set three PRs in two days, and also created by first segment, complete with inspiring name http://app.strava.com/segments/2570483

I see @400bhp is quite high up that segment

Are you baiting, Hacienda? ;-)

I have a feeling we might be riding through that segment Saturday AM. He might want to improve his time a little

 

[doctornige]

Enjoy. It's a nice run. Chiefly downhill, but with some sprinty climbs interspersed along it. One feels quite sporty on it.

I think we are supposed to go on the other road down to the A6 after Winnats but I couldn't help nudging him on it after he pointed out I have the slowest ever Strava time up Gun Hill. Plus we should really partake in a fellow CC'ers segment.

 

[doctornige]

Look fwd to seeing your times! The other road is OK, but the road surface at the A6 end is really bad.

 

[Hacienda71]

Is that past the Chestnut Centre/otter place?

 

[doctornige]

The road I think you mean is down past the otter place. The flatter bit at the top is Rushup Edge and there is the turning up to Mam Tor. The lard segment is on the other side of the valley and drops down to the roundabout that is left for Dove and Buxton and right for the A6 and Chapel.

 

[Hacienda71]

Yep thats what I thought. Is the surface better then on the Lard Segment to the A6?

 

[doctornige]

Lard is smoother, yes.

 

[Hacienda71]

Thanks

Go on then you can do it

This is even more ridulous.
