Weather looking to warm up tomorrow a little. About time I started segment hunting again.

I was going to go out tonight and get back this KOM: http://app.strava.com/segments/3071795 But it is chucking it down so I wouldnt be able to carry the speed through the corners.
Must go out early tomorrow morning instead.

I've just discovered Mam Nick, Derbyshire so I'm going to give that a bash next week perhaps. I'll let you know how I get on.

p.s. I'm no KOM hunter, that's for sure.

has got a little too warm for winter kit today. sweating something chronic in my winter big tights, merino wool top & cycling jersey. actually gone over to my spring gloves, but was still too warm cycling home from college just now! birds are making noises like it spring has arrived!

Back on the bike after 2 weeks off ill. Still got a bit of a cough but still managed a 5th place on a long segment which takes in a bit of a climb. happy with that

had two short rides today. Boiled on the first 12 mile ride at lunchtime. So over dressed. Much better on the commute home. Hopefully spring has sprung.

My riding mate just posted a time on Strava, which is 32 seconds quicker than my last KOM.
We do a 3.1 mile loop, and last time he had KOM, i beat it by 2 seconds ...... Suspect or has he improved that much in two winter months?

Is anyone else having trouble with Strava on Android? Mine hasn't given me an accurate record all week, it seems to think I commute via Algeria! Endomondo is tracking just fine and I'm using a GPS cache flush type app.

I've even tried turning the phone off and on again

actually I noticed yesterday when I tried to do a 'here is the pothole' report that it defaulted to another country on my iPhone when I tried to get it to do a GPS I'm standing here thing. ended up guessing where the issue was along a quiet country lane and marking it manually... maybe there is a satelitte issue instead?

Scary! Endomono is running just fine though.

Balls-got one KoM today, but missed out on one by 1s. I assumed it ended at the end of a particular side street. Turns out it was the penultimate side street.

Harrumpph - next time then.

Just discovered this strava thing, and its great fun. Had a few rides using it, but my segment times are rubbish. I put it down to a number reasons
1) Im still on my winter hybrid bike
2) Most of my segments are through Hyde Park & Kensington where there seems to be a lot of very good cyclists
3) I think strava somehow activates every traffic light to go to red as I approach
4) Im too slow

For now im just enjoying getting PR's.
