Silly STRAVA Racing

[400bhp]

Oh yes, and I reclaimed another silly segment that was also taken off me yesterday.

It was one I accidentally claimed when I went off route the other day - didn't know about it and wasn't even trying. So when I got the notification that I'd lost it yesterday, I knew it wouldn't be hard to reclaim with a bit of effort, so I made a little detour on the way home tonight...

Like I said, it's a silly segment, hardly worth the effort, but there's pride at stake here, dammit!

I'm, er, not taking this too seriously, am I?

Show us the segment Sumtchin - let the CycleChat Strava Clan decide whether the segment is worthy or not.

What, and let one of you blighters come along and steal it? I know your game!

Oh go on then... it really is a silly segment - if anyone wants it that badly, they can have it...

I only did it in the first place because I was daydreaming and missed the turning for Cheltenham Road, along the other side of Peckham Rye - which is itself another silly segment (one that I'm four seconds off the pace on, grrrr...)

This is the more interesting one I bagged last night - as you can see, the competition really isn't up to much round here, so if anyone fancies getting themselves down to east Kent and setting some times for me to aim at, there are plenty of ripe pickings to be had...

Yer man Hawkins nabbed this one off me at the weekend:

I was going pretty much flat out when I set my time there, so I don't know if I'm going to be able to recapture it*, but he has a few other KOMs that look very susceptible to a concerted assault...

*edit: although, looking at the comparison chart, it was only where it levels out after the top of the steep bit that he pulled out a gap, so maybe...

Suspect we might see that one toppled in August.

Just went out for a 25 mile thrash and Strava appears to be unable to upload me stats, or to show them to me

 

[Andrew_P]

Where is VamP not seen him on here for ages

 

[Hacienda71]

Hell yeah

You got kudos

I have a question...

If you ride a segment for the first time, I assumed you would get a PR. I did Toys hill this morning, for the first time and no PR Does it only kick-in after the second attempt (assuming you beat the first try)?

 

[smutchin]

Yes, in a nutshell.
