Silly STRAVA Racing

Anyone have problems uploading to strava today? My ride won't process

Same here, wasn't a fast ride, so not expecting any segment improvements, but would be nice to get my first couple of hours logged for the time challenge.

Mine lost it from the mobile app with a server error, but luckily I always run Endomondo and Strava concurrently, so I was able to export the gpx from Endomondo and manually upload it to Strava through the website. Took a good 20 minutes to show up though, so issues at their end I think.

They really need a way for the mobile app to keep un-uploaded activity so you can force it to upload again later if it fails.

What annoys me is when I give a segment maximum effort, definitely way harder than yesterday, but end up with a slower time - what's that about?

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Now got mine uploaded

4th best time up Broomfield in Richmond Park yesterday. What was everyone else doing that I managed that?

1kom and 5 pr's on the way to work today. Pr's are rare for me on the commute as i've done the roads so many times and more than likely i've already blasted down the road at some point on a lighter bike. KOM was on a segment someone recently took from me, equaled his time but suspect I could go faster with the right conditions.

 

[VamP]

Aha, I thought there was a problem with my file.

What I do find irksome is that the segment I got my second best time on today I am 16th\456 overall on. But filter it downto "today" I went 2mph faster than the current KOM went though it half an hour before me this morning.

Link us the segment?

The above relates to both Gaz & Andrew_P

Fear not - I ride the first half of that segment every Saturday morning but turn right at the petrol station, without fail

I have joint KOM on a segment just up the road, mind you...

Oh you two. I got crap times on both of those, should probably try giving them a good crack rather than just rolling along them.

As for earlier, just a little sprint - http://app.strava.com/segments/2773267

Take it as a compliment that you were going at a speed that they think is only possible in a car

Just went even faster over the course, he/she is going to think I've been out driving around just to rub it in
