Silly STRAVA Racing

Question: If you gain an 'armchair KOM' or maybe a KOM that is for a hidden segment, do you not supposedly receive an email notification?

Just asking because I was surprised to see I am sat top of a tasy one, without realising it...

Nope no notification, it doesn't even show on the ride (it just list the new segment but as it was created after your ride is doen't show the KOM).

But when I went into my KOM page I can see it listed there now.

I ain't moaning though, I'll take it

Yip its listed there but only the segment name is shown on the actual ride.

Edit OT this browser/IT is too ancient to show the newer strava :-(

Yeah I have the same problem and have to use Opera browser for Strava on this work laptop.
Cheers

Created a segment today on this lovely bit of singletrack

Question: When is a singletrack not a singletrack? Answer: When it's arrow straight.

I might be confoozed, I often am, but surely singletrack is a twisting thing?

Here's wiki definition:

Single track or singletrack is a narrow mountain biking trail that is approximately the width of the bike. It contrasts with double track or fire road which is wide enough for four-wheeled off-road vehicles. In addition it is frequently smooth and flowing, but it may also exhibit technical rocky sections and may be criss-crossed with tree roots. Single track riding can be quite challenging from a technical standpoint.

Discuss.

I got 2 KOMs on a little ride on Sunday. They were both off a friend at work and I like to see his face the next day. I suggested to him that he should be happy for me but this didn't go down very well.

One was a 12 mile loop, the other was a 6 mile segment within the loop that just takes in the climbing. Thing is, I knew I'd have the KOM on the segment but Strava didn't show me on the leader board. I raised a ticket with Strava and bingo, KOM! Well done Strava

Lol, on Saturday I got 5 KOMs, they were flagged a few hours later but they were done in the back of an ambulance and I was still to crop the ride

dont get many trophies or any KOMs these days mainly due to the winter slow down but quite chuffed with an average speed of 19 mph for my 15mile commute.

Found this segment on my commute a few days ago .... on my 2nd attempt I've moved into the top 10

Fantastic segment, running from Combe Dingle up to Blaise Castle, with only dog walkers to slow your progress.

Thick Fog today meant that was mostly off road and only a short run

Decided dusting off my Garmin last week after it being lame for over a year just to log my cycling, decided signing up on Strava to find out what all the fuss is about
