Silly STRAVA Racing

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 ...

I was after the Papermill Lane (towards Bramford) segment, I felt really good about it today!

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!

Exactly the same but added (Correct GPS data)

Stupid segment...must stop a few feet past a red light. I was bloomin 9 seconds up at that point.

Ussually a bit of a stickler for things being reasonably accurate... I don't think this is... I live not far from here and the claims of Strava that this stretch is a catagory 4 climb at an average grade of 15% is perphaps a slight exageration... I think it's actually 0% grade.. maybe its one of those fantom hills?

I have ridden the wrong way down a particular segment that my mate told me about, should have checked the direction before I set off
I also had a mechanical just at the start of a short uphill segment, went back down to fix it which took a while (snapped mech hanger) and ended up taking 34 minutes and was not surprisingly last

Done something similar on a segment. Hit the Brickworks in the big ring, then dropped the chain shifting down, re-hooked it on, turned round, left the segment and then rejoined. Think Strava takes your time from entering first as I was way down the field despite a fast ascent. Or that's what I keep telling myself. LOL

I can pull out of MTB SPDs quite easily, especially with a worn cleat. Never pulled out of my Look Deltas though, as they are very stiff to unclip (high tension). Did keep pulling out of the track bikes pedals though, but those pedals are knackered.

North westerley forecast tomorrow. Now, do I try and retake a segment off another CC'er ...

Not sayin.

Let's put it this way, I could end up with no KoM's left in a short space of time.

Just noticed the scale on Strava's heart rate graph is insane, it goes 0-400
