Silly STRAVA Racing

Not too keen on the new look Strava front end.

No, I was thinking that earlier

I like it

I had a look at one of my sections tonight, the KOM and the first few rides were by the usual muppets top speeds of 70-82mph, I flagged them and moved down the list expecting the same and then I realised the other incredible speeds (over 35mph, 30secs) were pros, my best is less than 25mph (43 secs), wow , much Kudos to them

All you need is a 20 mph tail wind and you will no be far away

Note the top guys did it in a peleton on the tour series.

I plan on creating a couple of segments this week. Virgin laps of Circuit of the Americas, clock and counter clock. Although it won't be too fast without gears.

Equalled a KOM yesterday, so planning to take it outright later ;-)

I was wondering why Strava was running like an elderly cat this morning, but when I finally got through I see they've updated the GUI. Oooh...

Stop it

I know you'd rather be in Stretford.

Stupid Frieston flyer segment. I'm peppering the top but can't find that elusive 1 second.

Day off + bit of a tailwind = 2 KOMs

One was on a segment where myself and another rider have been taking a second or two off each other, but this time I've smashed my PB so it should be mine for a while now.

Got it by 3 seconds

Koms on the flats are allmost getting imposible around here now, the only way some of them could have been achieved is by drafting a tractor or with massive tail winds. Nobody can average over 30mph without some sort of assistance.

Look at the top speed of the ride, its a good indication they were done in a car; if so flag it. However, one slightly uphill section I was doing well I thought at nearly 25mph, the fastest British pro's are averaging over 35mph without assistance

You might be surprised.
