Anybody know why it won't give me a PR even thought I keep Beating my previous times?
Anyone else having this problem?
The segment is probably not registering properly. Either you aren't completing it or the segment was created with dodgy GPS that goes off the road.
Care to link to the segment so we can take a look?

the segment has been used 500+ times and i don't turn off anywhere near the start or finish so i can't figure it out
(don't want to put too many details about my rides on here as you will all know where i live and steal my bike.... or worse come on beat all my strava segment times!!)

Just a query, what is the segment that you have cycled the most amount of times? (It is probably best using VeloViewer to find this out.)

Mine is this: http://veloviewer.com/segment/2221800/athlete/1328588 78 tries.
However, second and third are these: http://veloviewer.com/segment/3401185/athlete/1328588 , http://veloviewer.com/segment/3129629/athlete/1328588 which would make sense as I do them on my commute.
MIne is a downill segment coming home from work, 344 times so far and 3rd on the board :thumbsup:
 
35 mile route today.

5 KOM's, a 3rd, a 4th and a 5th. Better than a day in the office!!!

Now time for some well deserved :cheers:. Could murder a pint.

78 tries? PSSSH I have 16 segments with over 400 times ridden. 3 of which I am KOM for.
 
I've no idea where I got the energy from. I was just flying. I knew half-way up that it was going to be a PB but I just carried on going. I wish every ride felt like that.

p.s. Only 2 KOM's to my name and crazy ones at that too. Nothing to shout about.
Be twice that in a few weeks.

I have a new method. My legs will decide half way up a climb that i am going too hard and start SCREAMING AT ME. My response is to then change up a gear! That will teach them who's boss.

When you look at one of your recent rides which you did this segment on, do you see the segment name in the main list shown under the ride? Or is it in the hidden list?
