Silly STRAVA Racing

I was up in the hills today and am happy to see I am faster than the fastest lady up the Cat and Fiddle . I am a pretty poor climber being 6'3" but was pretty happy with my times tbh.

I think I'll take all the KOM's on Hyde Road out of Manchester today.

Took the 200 off the bike, in pocket, but forgot to switch it off whilst driving home after the Sky Ride. Will have to delete that ride.

First day of the Rapha Rising challenge and 16% completed. Was just a normal sunday ride of about 80 miles today the hill repeats will start next week...not particularly looking forward to that

Didn't realise Potsy had been up there.

Is Strava rider Warwick S on this forum? His KOM time up the Chorley old road climb in Horwich is amazing!

Went out with the club this morning for the first time in ages. I don't ride with them much these days, mainly because they're all old duffers, but I fancied a sociable ride. So it was mostly taken at a relatively gentle pace, but I did make a point of haring off up all the hills we encountered - I'm sure I don't need to explain why...

Only one KOM but it was on the most significant climb of the day. Plus a few more top 5 places. Not a bad morning's work.

I might have got another KOM but I stopped at what I thought was the top to wait for m'colleagues, and it turns out the segment ended about 100m further on. RaceShape shows I was matching the KOM until I stopped... curses!

d.

Well managed to average 30.7mph over 3.6 miles today and still only ended up 28th on the Gibbet in Northumberland.

Yep - I go the same way until Stockwell, then usually straight over to Oval but can go via Vauxhall, if I so desire. May be an advantage to going out early! As you say - so many lights though.

Did you try it?
I hit green lights pretty much all the way, got PR on clapham north to stockwell but hit traffic at vauxhall which meant I was 1min slower than my best time :/

Nah - was running a few minutes late this morning and the traffic (plus other cyclists) seemed more heavy than usual? Would try tomorrow but I am signed-up for my first TT tomorrow night and should probably save my legs so it may have to wait until Weds or Fri (I go in later on Thurs).

After signing up last week, I've decided that it is not good for my health. My legs are killing me from trying to beat people I've never meet.
The good news is no one else does the last hill to work (private road), so I'm KOM there.

Strava is That is why we do it.
