Bizarrely, I can't see his ride at all - he only has two rides displayed on his profile. Does this mean he has made the ride private or something? How can I flag his ride when I can't even see it?

Also slightly odd is that the segment page says he did the KOM "ride" in April. Why has it suddenly appeared now - has he only just got round to uploading his old rides? Weird.

Profile page only shows last 7 days of rides IIRC. You need to click on the little blue bar graphs to see other rides.

So, I flagged car dude's ride and it was removed. Impressively swift response.

Only thing is, it has been replaced by his 2nd best time, achieved under similar circumstances.

I wonder how many times he has done this. I guess I'm going to find out. FFS.

Edit: Yay! I've got my KOM back! Now I need to get out and work on recovering a couple of others I've lost by legitimate means recently...

This is interesting too - apparently I'm 6th on it?

I have a hunch that distance and defintely alt data is provided by the user's device that creates them. I have been hovering over deleting one of mine that I created as it starts @ -65ft.

Ah-wonder if that's the reason some appear as a category climb when clearly they aren't?

Yep and I have noticed on segemnt explore there was a segment running close to one I went on only it went throught the houses and three people had ridden it... But I wasn't picked up on it.

Also as far as I can tell you cannot go to the map and create one unless you have ridden it? I notice (not sure how long it has been there) that you can correct climb data by clicking on it. So have have the data.

No getting wet, no headwinds, could catch on that :thumbsup:

Was thinking about making another assault of brinny hill this morning, thought better of it once I got there, maybe Friday when I can travel a bit lighter :bicycle:

So what's been happening guys. Not back from Florida until tomorrow. Far to much food, steak, etc, etc on the Disney Dining Plan. Need to loose some beer kegs from my belly now. burp.

Just discovered that Both Potsy and Fossyant have beaten my time on Brinksway, which is a small hill at the start of my commute. I was KOM for a short while.

The chances of me "Taking it easy" tomorrow in prep for my 1st track session this weekend are now quite small . . . and checking the forecast, there are going to be 30mph gusts :cry: ;)

Sorry. It was a bonkers day as 3 of us attacked the hill, I rode it in the morning, then again that evening. The guy that was top at 30mph had done it in a car, but kindly took it off after I had mailed him, it had been left on after a mtb ride in the peaks.
