Grabbed a joint KOM with one of the pain in the bum locals (he's a chap who will flag rides or go out just to take KOMS). Very quick sprint, past Stockport Car Parks - helped by the fact there was a guy on a 125 trying to get past me :laugh:, then I scalped him in some filtering later on. He got me back after the traffic cleared.
@400bhp? :laugh:

I'm forming the opinion that some of the times I'm seeing on gradients segments in Strava are only possible in either a car or a PTW :sad:

In some cases yes but on others it depends on the length of the climb and wind direction; you get some quick times up them if they are short. I don't really get too worked up abotu them as there's plenty of cheats out there and who are they trying to kid (themself springs to mind) :rolleyes:

Yet again I have Garmin data proving I was 5mph above the KOM but Strava doesn't even acknowledge that I rode the segment. Getting fed up with this!

You using a garmin device?

Are you on "snap to road" and is the segment created using a crappy phone?

Sounds like a case of Garmin > phone

Ive messaged them about this type of thing before and it's generally cleared up in a day or so. Just a pain in the backside waiting to get it sorted!
