Another KOM! http://app.strava.com/activities/73128961#1441984242
Created the segment just now because I was chasing a bin lorry down there so knew I would get a good time.

Dude... there are some things that are worth drafting and then there some things that are... bin lorries!!

My Edge 200 has started acting really wonky, and I'm going through a warranty replacement.

So, I figured I'd try the mobile app on my evening ride tonight. Didn't go so well, as the app registered a 52 second trip of 12400 km. I'm guessing somehow the standby mode of my (android) phone interfered with recording - any mobile app veterans out there with experience in what standby settings to disable?

I am such an idiot! The segment I created, which I lost the kom on a few days ago is actually linger than I thought! Lol.

I start attacking it at the top of a nice drop 400 meters after the start! I AM A MORON.

Ah well those 8 seconds are easy to make up now lol

Can't beat my places on these - they're down the road from work so get the chance to ride them everyday, some days I'll push others I won't. Time to fit the aero bars again I think.......lose the full saddle bag, ditch the 2 bottles, must count for something right ? Should also warm up a bit I guess, first one starts a mile after I start riding so often muscles must be a bit cold.

To flag or not to flag?: total ride distance of 0.4 miles

Looks well dodgy to me

That screams motorbike to me as well

 

[ohnovino]

Oh well, it's flagged. The reported 40mph top speed was obviously off, so I just reported that (even though it may well have just been a little GPS blip that didn't affect the overall time).

I hate it when people post tiny cropped rides like that, because it looks so dodgy but there's no specific thing you can really point to to say it's cheating, so flagging it seems like sour grapes. That guy's KOM time was achievable, but with nothing to back it up it just looks wrong.

I was up at 5.30 am today and out on the bike at 6.20 to miss any of the traffic and it pay'd off.
