Are garmin still doing the £30 cashback too?

Just had a look and, yes they are

There seems to be a couple of segments that have disappeared near me - dont think they have been flagged for being dangerous (i cant see why they would be as one was a pretty straight uphill drag about 0.5% gradient and the other was the same bit going the opposite way). I wasn't KOTM on either so cant go into the KOM/CR tab to see if its still there.

Can a segment be deleted by the person who created it in the first place?

Yes-I did it. I set one up then couldn't be arsed with it.

Sometimes segments won't show on segment explore, which can be frustrating if you are looking for something specific Then other times the same segment will appear straight away.

Bit slow were you ?

 

[zizou]

Well i made a new one and i am KOTM for it just now

Of course the leaderboard is not built yet so no one elses ride is showing up so the glory may be short lived

Yip they can be edited, deleted or flagged. It might of been sour grapes by someone who wasn't KOtM. You can still explore segments however, where you haven't got a KOM/CR

Here !!!

I saw you yesterday going thru a segment very slowly, think you've lost it.
Knocked 5 seconds off one of my pr's today, only 1 second behind fat fossy now on there

It's getting silly now ..... I had first place on a sprint by me, my mate had been sneaking out the house for weeks trying to beat it. I received a smug text from him on Sunday evening saying he has just equaled it, I check and yup he has, so I sit there shuffling in my chair thinking "THE GIT !!". Cue me going upstairs getting out of my comfortable sofa slobbing gear and getting fully kitted out into cycling togs,
Wife just looked at me and said "Dont you blokes ever grow up ?"

P.S. I could only equal it before the England game started (wish I stayed out until I got it back considering the result)

Thought you might say that. KOM wasn't on on that section as I got held up at the start of the segment, and there was a headwind.

I've got 10,000,000 other excuses in my little book !

Just looked at raceshape. I know how my KOM was lost on Brinksway. I eased up after the junction, where the segment goes beyond bugger !!!!

Who the hell showed us raceshape - shows you exactly where you went wrong. Love it.

Just analysing some other rides. I go way too quick from the off, even on a 1/2 mile climb.
