Silly STRAVA Racing

[gaz]

What time of day do you come through there and able to hold 29 Gaz? I turn right at Clapham South and go down Nightingale lane but have gone straight down CS7 through to Wimbledon Chase a handful of times for a change. Don't like the traffic in Tooting though!

Would have been around 6.10-6.20 on that day. This was before it was CS7 so the road layout was slightly different and I probably had a clear run.

I wish it was that 'easy'..

I've got some KOM's.. one for example has been ridden over 3,600 times by more than 400 people.

Of course a proper KOM should involve going up at least a hill. The occasional Olympian and national champion as also rans also adds a little cachet.

Gaz I still have number one in the CC charts on the Coulsdon Bypass Two step, smash it this weekend :-) just you and me on that and 3 other on the hooley one, yours was from before Strava was invented!

I am going to take a days rest and try the Coulsdon Bypass, then the Blud sucka I always keep some in reserve in the morning as they are in the first 5 miles of my commute.

I agree with the hills, weather conditions play less of a part and KoM is all about the hill! Not that Ihave any KoM's lol

True. I don't have a chance on getting KOM on many hills, too many cakes!

Nooooooo............

The whole success of Strava is built on making us all feel special. We can all be king of our own molehill!

Down Oldham road yesterday I averaged over 27 mph, I was flying and working hard, it's a 1.1 mile segment, was gutted to see such an effort only put me in 3rd tho

Must become better lol

Doing a superman impression leaving the bike behind to try to get over the finishing line of a Strava segment quicker is not on Potsy.

Nuts. I've lost my KOM on one of the local hills by 20 flipping seconds. That's going to take some recapturing. Fair play to him though - 28km/h up a climb that's 12% at its steepest part.

I was pleased, however, that the culprit failed to nab another of my KOMs on the same ride.

d.

I've tried throwing the Garmin over the line before now, this was a more extreme attempt.

Fossy blocking the road in the middle of a bombing run wasn't on either
