Veloviewer now showing which activities have been flagged, which is interesting to look at.
Only 2 for me, not bad for +1100 activities.

What reason did you have 2 rides flagged?

 

[Rob3rt]

I have definatelly had activities flagged because Strava told me so, Veloviewer doesn't show any as flagged though.

Dodgy GPS data. On one I was apparently doing 300mph!

If you think the ride is good I think you can process it in Race shape to remove the spike (or is it another website )

One of them is completly miffed. The other one i'm not to bothered about, it was a slow group ride so I'm not officially high up on any leader boards.

What's an armchair KOM?

What's an armchair KOM?

As I understand it's where someone creates a new segment and you become KOM due to Strava calculating past efforts through it.

What's an armchair KOM?

When someone else creates a segment which just happens to go along a road you previously ridden with GPS; its a KOM that you never went out to win, as it didn't exist when you did the ride. Not strictly true but you gained it without having to leave your armchair (at least today ).

So...
You ride a road recording with your GPS but don't create a segment.
Some one else rides the same road and creates a segment, but you are faster.

I bet the person who created the segment was well chuffed.

Uploading a ride of just a segment and you get a kom. Hmmm strange - http://app.strava.com/activities/68696886
