I managed it! first time in ages I got a clear run without cars pulling out or traffic lights changing. Eased of slightly when a bus pulled out further ahead as I thought I was going to catch right up with it!

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 ).

Revisiting this.
I use Strava just for my 100+ rides to draw on a map.
I see that I have a KOM on a segment that someone else created. I guess that is an armchair KOM.
I haven't claimed it yet though. Let the chap think he is No.1

disappointed as the wind was err favourable today but alas, unable to get aero enough. Gonna give it another go tomorrow on the big stretch past airport!

On my hybrid I am really a bit too sit up and beg to be aero

Nice start to the morning I picked up an Arm chair KOM on a road I'll probably never ride again (it was shut to motorised traffic on the day).

 

[Spartak]

Got a KOM on last nights commute

Knew I'd gone well on it & was lucky to get a green light half way along, but was most surprised to get the top spot !

Also noticed I've improved my Veloviewer score to 89.96 !!!

Had a quick dash to CHertse and back yesterday. thought I would go for segments a bit. Only one PB but I did have a pannier on

This bloody climbing challenge is killing me, mind you it has helped me get a 5th and 6th place on two segments

There no chance of me completing it based on my last few rides in the Fens (IIRC less than 800ft in 100 miles or so); I'm glad I never entered

I've done 370 miles since Sunday and I'm at 49% of the climbing challenge, it is going to be tough to complete, but I'm determined to do it. Legs felt a lot better last night than the day before.

Nice ; in the 277 miles I've done since Sunday, I've only climbed less than 6700ft and just over 4000 of that was on Sunday!

Nice!

Which challenge is it?
I can only see The Extender challenge still open for cycling on Strava.

Its too flat around my local area to really hit the climbing challenges unless I go up and down the same few hills several times.

I really need to find a nice hill by me to hit to really challenge myself.
