Joint 2nd on Brinksway. The Android Strava is inaccurate. Got round to uploading Fridays's rides from the 705 last night.

Joint 2nd? Showing you as solo 2nd?

Lads - I have a nemesis. He is picking off my KoM's. Find his KoM's and destroy please.

Well that is a pity, yesterday I mucked about with the Garmin was trying to figure out Virtual Partner (I Know RTFM) well I loaded my fastest ride in as a course and couldn't get VP working got distracted and just turned off the Garmin. Started riding this morning and I was getting turn by turn all the way to work.

1. It was very annoying turn by bloody turn beeping like mad
2. It seems to have missed loads of Segements
3. It was a record run so should have had a few PR*

*I would like an opinion please I increased my Wheel size to 2110 on the Garmin (Conti GP 4000 700c x 23c 120 PSI) The Side of the box the Conti came in gave the rolling MM as 2133 I assume with weight that decreases.

I reset my trip on the Car yesterday and drove my exact route home, the car recorded 16.8 miles, my Garmin has been recording 16.4 to 16.45, This morning having changed the wheel size 16.53.

Am I kidding myself? Would the Car be .20 over or more than that? I assume the miles would not be spot on in a car as the Speedo on cars as always a bit OTT?

For various reasons, none will be spot on LOCO. I'd go with the Garmin. You could also try running the Garmin with the wheel sensor turned off too.

This is what have been wondering, so your app and your Garmin are 2 seconds different?
Might try it myself one night this week just for comparison

Went out last night for a quick blast and when I got back to up-load the ride, I noticed an e-mail from Strava telling me some geezer had taken my solitary KOM!

He must be spewing now and probably thinks I pulled a fast one because I got a PB and re-claimed the KOM, after he had held it for all of about an hour

That's right - the phone isn't going to be as accurate as the Gramin with the speed sensor.

Also it's easy for signal to be lost, and we know it's not exactly acurate on position, so that few feet difference would equate to those couple of seconds.

Some cheeky young pup has taken a couple of my 'crowns' while I have been away. I shall be seeking revenge tomorrow, theres plenty life in this old dog yet!

 

[Payneys]

I'm going to set up my own segment and hide it so I can get a KOM. it depressing being 36th of 42 or 112 th of 150

I can't believe it... the git has only gone and taken my KOM today, by 3 seconds

Maybe it's because you got a fake??

I just knocked 14 seconds off my best Wizard downhill to become KOM by 9 seconds over the 1.1 miles.
