Real time segment times - http://road.cc/content/news/87480-strava-launches-instant-segment-times-feature

Not much use for those of us that use Garmins though.

Clocked up a sub-20 round Richmond Park yesterday! Lovely conditions. Now 1344th in the lap leaderboard! No excuses but I did experience a bit of traffic that broke momentum on a couple of occasions. Sub-19 firmly in sights!

Road bike back from a full service with new chain and headset. Felt amazing. Haven't done a huge amount of cycling other than the commute recently, very nice to come straight back in with a RP PB :-D

Nice. Thats one of my targets, to do RP in under 20. My best (which i got on Saturday) is 21.14. So need to shave off 75 seconds.
I think i need to be braver going down Dark Hill......must not touch brakes!

Haha I think the same thing- always intend to stick on the drops saying to myself 'right George, no braking this time' but often chicken out. The bend looked a little gravelly towards the edge on Sunday so didn't completely go 'balls to the wall'!

For me, if you can keep it above 20mph for the majority of Sawyers Hill (anticlockwise, first stretch after Roehampton Gate), although you'll slow a little for the steeper bit, the rest of the lap takes care of itself :-)

Lawbreaker!!

Got a couple of 'Uh Oh' emails yesterday on segment I didn't even know existed, I had set the previous KOM in 2009 apparently. I'm guessing the new KOM made these new segments as it seems he's the only one who raced through them.

Just got 2 KOMs!

My first KOMs arrived today on a wind-assisted ride inbound from the Erskine Bridge . One of them the highly sought after CC Ecosse sprint

Evening 10 Time Trial tonight on the Severn RC course, they had to adapt the route slighty due to a section of the course being resurfaced.
The 'alternative' section turned out to be flat & smooth, enabling me to record my best ever 10 mile time .....24:05 taking a massive 35 seconds off my PB.

Anyone else seen this page ? If so whats your score ?

It also gives a top segment score ..... mine is 99.70 ( 4th out of 1,350 )

2 pbs on my way home. Took it easy until the segments (there are 2 that start at the same point and one ends about 300 yards after the other) and jumped up the leaderboard! The longer one I actually forgot about so I eased up.

Improved a KOM by three seconds tonight - it's a very short, very flat sprint segment and is only worth mentioning because it takes my average speed on the segment to a shade under 30mph.

A shade under... hmmm... need to go out and have another go at it asap...

Just looked at my rivals for the first time on VeloViewer.
Turns out that my closest rival is none other than @Sittingduck
