I joined Strava a week ago. Got a bit of a thrill after getting a couple of Top 10s on my commute, then was brought crashing back to earth after a long ride on Saturday, when I saw how slowly I get up the Cat 4 climbs compared to the top guys.
My ego has taken a beating, which is probably a good thing.

Then it gets hold of you and you find you are getting faster and faster everyday. Fantastic way to push yourself that bit further.
I've nearly died at the top of some hills but in a completely good way.......you know? Especially as you start to catch up with the top guys. It becomes addictive.

First of all I just did Strava at the weekends with my mates, just for a laugh, next thing I knew I was going for KOMs at 3am to avoid traffic and red lights...

Trans Pennine Segment hunting tomorrow, we will see what the Garmin finds. Won't have a cat in hells chance of taking any having been off the bike for almost 4 weeks, and riding an MTB with slow studded tyres.

4th on the Brinny Old Rail Tunnel section - I know I can beat that as I was just taking it gingerly - bit bumpy ! I think Potsy had been smashing bottles - there were a few just as I joined the TPT from the housing Estate, just past the Stables.

What's all this chatter of smashing bottles?

Just guessing that Potsy will protect his KOM's by any means necessary.

Oh and his KOM's seem to be park orientated.
