Silly STRAVA Racing

Hey guys, is this possible?:

The guy in the lead seems to have a remarkably high average for such a road.

It looks a bit dodgy. If you look at the ride he has a top speed of 64 mph. Looks like he probably went mountain biking and left the Garmin on, on top of the car.

Top 3 need flagged. All have stupid top speeds and unrealistic averages going up that hill.

are you sure he's a "mate"?

Lets just say i am glad he is my friend and not my Strava enemy. Any climb he goes for he gets. PITA!!
He's maybe just doing an Armstrong and showing the boys who is boss.

I have flagged them. It seems that two of them had done some racing at Marsh Tracks and forgotten to turn off the device.

I lost one of my KOMs to a unrealistic speed, I then found out the cyclist had been knocked off and that was the hospital dash; I didn't have the heart to flag it.

There is a chap in our area that seems to be taking just about every kom around here, he has over 60,well on thursday i took one from him and first thing friday morning he took it straight back with a 30 sec leed. He then posted on my ride 'sorry you couldnt keep your kom long but you knew that didnt you, have fun, ride safe.' cheeky ba**ard. I'll get it back if it kills me lol, i'm only 4 sec behind on it now and 7 sec on another of his.

Cheeky B'stard indeed, face to face with friends you might have that banter but not with somebody you don't actually know. You should get a motorbike and go up the hills just a few secs or less faster than him and when/if he beats its, do it again, etc. etc

Even my wife had a guilty laugh about that and she couldn't give a rats ass about Strava.

Yep that one is on my radar, just need the right conditions and it will be back. The problem with that one is getting slowed by cars
