Two top 10s today, on a hybrid with 28mm tyres and mudguards. Getting a bit obsessed now.

Oh dear, how did I get sucked into this?
Will post some more when I've worked out how to upload my gps data to Strava.

Thanks Spartak. I will defo come back stronger.Pedrosanchezo - respect to you !!!
Your veloviewer shows some exceptional figures
Enjoy your break & come back stronger !!!
I think the ideal scenario would be like the point break movie where they travel where the waves are. Well in my case i would just go to sunnier climes and cycle all year round bagging Strava segments 24/7. A gross overestimation of my abilities i am sure but a guy can dream can't he.
Take Marc De Maar & Laurens ten dam for example........... Strava addicts living the dream.

Would the cycling equivalent be going where the tailwinds are?

It certainly helps me get KOMs on my singlespeed!

There is no return now. Really. Can't believe I went chasing a couple of off road segments with my problems down below at the moment. The addiction is there.

I've lost six KOMs in 24 hours, and have been taken down a notch on about fifty segment in the last week or so, the Ipswich Bike Club is after me 
Well I peaked at 31 KOMs and can't be arsed to beat that score. This time next week I'll probably have none. Oh well!

You're like me mate. I'm placed quite highly on the urban segments on my commute. But I went out to tackle some serious climbs in the countrysde and got well and truly put in my place! I'm like 300th out of 400 on Ritton Bank.

Totally fell of the wagon today. 
Bagged 4 KOM's and 6 top 10's on todays 33 mile ride. May have to go to a Strava AA meeting. A hint of sunshine i am out the door dressing myself as i ride down the street.
