Silly STRAVA Racing

Picked myself up a couple of KOMs on this afternoon's ride...

One fairly long (4.2 miles) although @Rob3rt won't be happy at all with the other - a 0.2 mile blast
Luckily for me it only lasted an hour before someone uploaded a better attempt and relieved me of the embarrasment of being KOM on such a short segment!

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

HaHa.. that's a closed road isn't it?

I believe it's now classed as a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians. There is access for cyclists at the mitchem road end, a little harder at the other end, you have to hop onto the pavement to get around the concrete blocks.

hah, 0.2 mile segment ffs!

All the segments I got trophies on today were less than 0.4 miles. But they were all off road

I know, I have ridden it a few times.

Do you know who would have created that segment?

No Idea.

Edit: but there was a strong north wind yesterday and I guess it was somebody with a ride dated yesterday or Saturday; Strava crashes the work PC so I cant check it out.

Took another park based kom just for @Edwards80 between us we own that park

When I uploaded our ride from yesterday my other half's garmin has missed a sector out but mine has given me a time for it (I was following her) any ideas why this has happened.i don't think she knows about it yet but she has 3 QOM's in 2 rides

@potsy LMFAO, didn't even know I had that one, I wish I could give myself Kudos for that!

I never look at my profile to see which ones I have, just checked now and I only have 3 KOM's. Poor showing from someone who can ride at 25 mph for an hour or more, lol!

I like the bloke but there one friend of mine who I can drop quite easilly and he has 100+ KOM's, visa versa I've a few rides which are faster than folk who can easily drop me, if folk want to think STRAVA offers an accurate comparrison
