Silly STRAVA Racing

Increase your pedal tension maybe?

Mtb spd cranked as hard as they go. Worth changing?

Welcome to my world! I got my PB on a climb today, but unfortunately it was on the Beaumont trophy route, so there are pros galore at the top!

Said it before but tour of Britain passed though my patch.

Strava freefall.

Not sure, but I have never pulled out of my Look Keo classic's going uphill or during a "sprint" (using the term lightly, as I am referring to interval training). I have accidently disengaged a couple of times when coming down hill then going to pedal and finding myself in a much too small gear and somehow disengaging as the pedals spin with no resistance, but only when the cleat was VERY worn.

You shouldn't becoming unclipped. Something must be wrong... does your hill climbing technique incorporate a crazy waggle of the ankle or something?

He does the shimmy!

I have no idea, I'll study myself

I only come unclipped when giving it my all, which is the worst time of course!

How old are the cleats they could be unclipping because of being worn out

I rode out today with my new summer jersey on over my winter longs. Thing is, this is a Polocini Test Team jersey, so I now have the opportunity to bez it round the Peak with an actual Strava logo on my back.

Gawd knows, the cleats are new but the pedals are ancient and secondhand.

Went for a segment this morning on the way into work, did just enough to get kom. Or at least i thought I did.
Uploaded onto strava and nothing. no kom, not even a top 10.
Turns on the segment was created with dodgy gps data and my ride didn't even register. So I created a correct one and got KOM

Good idea! Did you give it a similar name? There's an uphill segment near my house that I'd have to go through several neighbour's houses to get KOM on!

Was utterly hyped for my lunchtime ride today, there's a rare southerly wind and it's perfect for a segment I've been fighting for... but I had a visit from the fairy on the way out and had to abort

That is the opposite to us up here. Rare northerly today, normaly have southerly winds. Still get the fairys round here though.

I think my trouble is triplefold:

• I work on an industrial estate
• I've done about 1000 miles on these Swalbe Blizzard Sport tyres and they're looking a bit sad
• I mocked the fairy in a blog post once

Which one were you heading for ? . I see that at least the puncture was close to your work given you 0.8 mile strava ride ...
