The roadworks at the Foxhall road end should mean I will keep it at least for a few days before the fast boys in town see it

Garmin sync does that for some reason.

Yeah thats what i'm using, might stop using it and just upload direct from the garmin to strava

Right - looks like by the weekend, the easterly wind could be done and dusted (for another 6 months I guess).

Better have a pop at any westerly segments NOW.

I'm still recovering from flu but tonight will be my only chance to take advantage of wind conditions. Gotta move up the manchester list so contemplating having a pop at a few segments where there are a lot of riders and I am quite low down on the list.

POTSY - Railway to River. top 100 = points. Do it on the new steed!!!

Whats an "armchair KOM"
I know what the KOM is, is just the Armchair bit I dont know. I assume it dosent mean you have attached peddles, wheels, and handlebars to your armchair and have set off cycling about in comfort!

It's if a new segment is created where you are already the fastest on

It's where the segment was not created it when you rode on the day and has been added since by someone else.

Got a KOM on a segment down the road from me whilst out testing the new cassette & to the Post Office - http://app.strava.com/activities/47211913#821784414 - only 4 ridden it, but it all counts

Just took a full 30 seconds off my PB for the local hill climb. It was just so much easier than usual - no idea why. Maybe I'm getting fitter

If only I'd known where the segment actually starts (there's a sharp hill before the main climb, I've always started my attempts from the top of it)
