Might not be super useful given that terrain makes a colossal difference to speed on a bike. A hill taken one way would give you 10kph, but the other way would be 60.

I am considering it. I had got an invite from one of the local clubs, but I haven't taken it up yet. I'll keep you posted.
Lost a KOM to someone who's turned on their GPS just before the segment and turned it off straight after. Doesn't feel like that's really playing fair, but maybe I'm just being bitter. Worse still, it's into the prevailing wind, so I've got no chance of regaining it until the weather turns. Grumble grumble...

Or sounds like they cropped the ride. Maybe they were in the car and had the gps on all the time, slowed down enough to make it look realistic and then cropped it.
Any cadence or HR readings on the ride?

Got a few KOM's today. More long flat sections. 
Got a 2nd and two 4ths on 3 climbs.
One steep climb though i had stopped to take a whiz and a rest before attempting it and i must have entered the segment beginning (why do folk insist on starting climbs on the flat 100 yards before it!!). Anyway the timer started and i came up dead last. The segment didn't even finish at the top of the climb, it finished like 3/4'ers of the way up.
So i created my own version of the segment starting at the bottom of the hill (lowest point) and the top of the hill (highest point). Low and behold i got the KOM. Thats street justice!!!

Nope. And it was their first ride on Strava, and there's a high-speed blip before the segment starts, so it does look a bit dodgy.
However, they do have a couple of followers who are genuine, so I'm thinking it's probably someone who's mates have encouraged him to give it a go, but he's not fully into it yet. Also I don't want to flag it because it gives me a target to aim for!
First ride and he does that, flag it as that is without doubt dodgy.

Yeh why crop the ride? Something to hide?

Anybody else having trouble uploading rides to the website, at the moment? Not sure if it's Strava or my Garmin.
