Silly STRAVA Racing

[Edwardoka]

Out today on a ride to Loch Lomond (the same route as taken by the CC Ecosse ride in January) saw that there was a nice, straight section of cycle path that had no-one on it.
I presumed there would be a segment for it, so I told my lady friend that I was going to attack it, she rode ahead while I doubled back to give myself a decent run at it, and opened the taps.

Unfortunately, there wasn't an existing segment, so I created one. http://app.strava.com/segments/3712045

I hereby claim my 2nd KOM by a total of 1 second. Bet that won't last long!

First ride yesterday in a while, still managed 4 KOMs, 2nd, 4th and an 8th. Some KOMs where from new segments I had created.

Struggled home on the commute tonight into a nagging headwind, then remembered a short segment that I was trying for so rode down it, turned around ( creating a great tailwind !!! ) and managed a KOM on it by 2 seconds

Got a rare KOM this morning and numerous cups, heh. They probably won't last long though...

And I'm getting bored of hitting these Westbound segments. When is the prevailing Souwesterly wind going to return?!

 

[cervelo chic]

Mr cervelo chic stole my only 'KOM' yesterday grrrr, will just have to stick to the QOMS

 

[Strathlubnaig]

putting the hammer down today on a possible PR on a section but got held up by a b'stad taxi who must have been looking for a house # or something ended up only my 2nd fastest on th.at wee bit. Later on I was feeling pretty good on another long rural single track and was held up by a herd of sheep, nae luck !!

Got a few PR's today. Pushed hard up a hill but I couldnt get in the right gear so I was left spinning. Wind should die down tomorrow and Weds so I might be able to get longer rides in.

I don't know whether to be proud of you or feel sad for you

It's a good clear stretch of track, I had another crack at it yesterday, but got held up right at the start. Took a second out of my time but by that point /someone/ had already taken a turn around there...

My old 305 got detected as a 205 (probably because I dont use the cadence sensor much) and often now as an 800 (if the last ride I uploaded was from my 800); thats's some upgrade
