Silly STRAVA Racing

[Supersuperleeds]

Look at your activities list and you can see if it was put up more than once.

Cheers, the ride had loaded 8 times, now removed the extra ones and plummeted back down to my rightful place on the challenges.

It doesnt let me up load twice, yet on some historic data (2-3 year old) 'also on the ride' is me and then if I delete the duplicate both are deleted fortunately that doesn't happen with newer rides

Mines done this a couple of times recently. Just deleted one of the duplicates and it deleted my ride home yesterday. Bit odd!

With that glitch the other day when I next logged in I had Andrew P Rode with Andrew P which was funny

I hate that piece of road too - like Gaz (although if you filter by "Cyclechat", at least you're 2nd...!) And I've avoided it at times by going through Coulsdon!!

Garmin obviously lost a bit of accuracy yesterday, but it did result in recording a (5th placed - was 4th yesterday) time for this odd segment http://app.strava.com/segments/4160033

I ride it more or less every weekday so I have gotten used to it, if you take a close look it starts well before the hill and if you are running with a heavy tailwind and get the green lights you pick up a fair bit of speed, although even I would question the 28mph...

Managed a KoM on my lunchtime ride today here it had been pinched from me a little while ago, so it was time to get it back.

I have got a couple more to regain, watch this space.

I know one of the riders high up on that mentioned about getting his wife to drive in front of him. :/

Update to strava: Not sure if it's just for pro users, but you can now star segments and see all your stared segments under my segments.
Allowing for easy tracking of your favourite segments and ones which you have goals on.

It's on the free version too, nice feature

Anyone know if there is a setting for multi sport? My garmin has auto multi sport so when I do brick training I can press one button for transition after bike and the press again to start the run session, but strava only sees it as all bike, so 10k bike and 5k run comes up as 15k bike.

Just updated my Veloviewer !

Just got one of them back

It is quite clear that Strava is mostly for fun (it offers little in terms of in depth training analysis, although they are improving it), the odd person will think having loads of KOM's means they are some sort of elite athlete, but those are few and far between. Most treat it as fun and to measure their own progress.

If you have loads of KOMs on segments where there are a lot of participants, I would say you are quite exceptional. In London at least, you need to be really motoring for a KOM.

http://app.strava.com/segments/2044781 - im now KOM again

Yep. I have 0 KOM.
I did get one once, but lost it within a week.

I reckon to keep one you need to create your own segment on a road that only you have access to!

see @gaz for details on how to do this

I've been a bad boy. Left one of the sites and thought, just for a change, I'll take the fixed down the 'cycle route' which takes me from near the Hospitals to the Armitage Centre in Fallowfield. It's a mix of mainly back streets and one small section of shared path.

Created a couple of segments on the route to 'The Toast Rack' (MMU's Hollings campus), and I've bagged 1st on both One goes from the Xvarian college and is 0.9 miles long, and the other takes in most of the shared path only 0.4 miles.

Blooming good job no body uses the path at 10.30am !

Correction, also bagged the segment already created behind the Toast Rack (including cycle barriers). Heh heh. Bit of fun.

I believe you have to use Garmin Connect and then you can split the data file in half and then upload it as a bike and then a run.
