Silly STRAVA Racing

[VamP]

I have no interest whatsoever in Strava, as 4F will tell you I come on for the amusement factor, however I will say that was a good ride considering the long drag you had to do when you turned left towards Wimpole, not to mention Croydon Hill which I always struggled up on fixed .

I so agree with you. Which is why it's all the more gratifying to look at all the 'podiums' when all I did was ride fifty minutes at level 3/4 I generally don't have a clue where segments begin or end, so never go segment hunting, beyond occasionally giving it the beans up Croydon, which as you rightly pointed out, is the only decent hill for miles.

Picked up a nice little segment today, just a short off road section. Been using the MTB lately for my commute, and enjoying being back on fat tyres

Expert Stalker alert!!

We have people who are segment flaggers, duplicate segments creaters, have fake user profiles, flag your ride if you take their KOM and a lot more around here. I am a positive angel compared to a number of the more obsessed users in the South Manchester area.

Especially those around Richmond Park in London, quite a few non-hazardous (in my opinion and 6000+ others) segments getting flagged lately, managed a podium today in a descent segment in the park, a minute later it was flagged as hazardous..... crazy shenanigans going on....

Unlucky... Broomfield or Sawyers?

This time it was Dark Hill descent, though a few flat segments I used for following any improvements have been flagged lately too.... Aye Broomfields (or at least one of them..) was flagged recently too I see.

A new segment has appeared on my old haunt, so I thought I'd check it out. I know my mate Craig is super fast but 35.5mph up the Dunfermline DC, when AB (another super fast rider) is only (only ) 22.6mph; when you click on Craigs ride its 19.8mph, slow for him but more realistic Its a similar story for the KOM but even more extreme, 44.2mph shown and 11mph in the details; I'm dubious of his top speed though but on the whole its looks to be another dodgy segment but outside the top two it seems reasonable

Not a bad ride today, went off roading and got 4x KOM's (from new segments I created), 2nd place, 2x 4th places, 5th place and a 7th.

For any one who uses veloviewer, you can now use the beta of their new version - a link will be on your update page of the site

9 KOMs today and still got to create a few segments which I suspect I might do well on.
