Probably using an android device which is known for having GPS issues that re-set the lat/long to 0 0 for some strange reason.

3rd place and loads of PR's last night. Wanted a KOM though.

 

[Andrew_Culture]

My KOMs are dropping like flies now, I guess I'll think of this passed winter as when I had 'some' KOMs.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

just got my first armchair QOM...

The competition is definitely heating up again after the winter lull. Strong winds the last few days so a handful of popular segments have changed hands a few times. It has got to the point where a couple of my friends aren't uploading their daytime rides until late at night so there is a smaller chance of someone else going out and going for the same segment with a similar wind

Yep that's smart hunting, I reckon. Definitely worth not uploading until the last possible minute on a particularly windy day. Not that I contest KOM's much but it seems like good strategy, imho

was thinking of that tactic as well, but cant be arsed

It's even been known, by friends of friends of course, to wait a few days before uploading so that there is slightly less chance of potential rivals noticing your new KOMs in the strava feeds.....

That will only work with friends. And anyone who you just stole it off will get a notification if they haven't turned the setting off.

Right

Over the course of the last week, some SCUM have decided to steal some of MY KOM's

That thingymibob below my posts said "52" on Monday. Now it's 47

They are mine - give them back.

I can't believe some people - the cheek of it.

I don't like it when you get an e-mail from strava about someone stealing a KOM but really it's already theirs, you're in second and they just improved their time :/

I don't follow, if you are in second place how can they steal your KOM, or do you mean you were in joint first place together?

Strava sends out an e-mail if someone gets a KOM and you are in second place. No matter if you were already in second place and they were already the KOM.
