Might have been mentioned already but those that find the GPS doesn't quite match the segment this can be helpful

KOM yet ?

Segment has now turned into a leaf covered slippery hill climb, may have to wait a while !

Found another one nearby on the A4162, already in 4th place with the possibility of a KOM in the right conditions !

So, who's going segment hunting Today then?

Chickened-out of my commute, in favour of working from home. Looks mental out there.

I'll brave the weather later, but looks a bit dangerous to chase anything!

I went out, only managed 1 new kom, had to overtake a car for that too. wind never really lined up and was a cross wind much of the time, interesting leaning into it!

It did kind of suck yesterday. I attempted a few but it was mostly sidewinds and a lot of places had leaves and twigs in the road which you had to slow for.

 

[Sittingduck]

You rode in...?

You rode in...?

yup. left a bit later that usual as when I woke up it was still blowing 60-80. Left when it was blowing around 30-50 which was manageable.

 

[Sittingduck]

It had indeed calmed down by about half eight but by that time I had already been logged in and working for an hour and a half, so thought it would be less impactful to stay put, heh.

Thought about heading out into it and trying to get a few PRs on the Dorking road>Couldson route that I have ridden dozens of times but got too bogged down with work
