Silly STRAVA Racing

[gaz]

Got someone who appears to be going after a few of my segments.
Beat one by 3 seconds, which I can easily get back as I've only ever done it on my heavy single speed.
The other was a steep climb and he averaged less than half what my average was. Keep up!

Bam... beat him by 19 seconds today. And I've got a cold at the moment.

Any other women in this thread? It seems that strava is not appealing to women, I've only got a few QOM and one is at 8.7km and another I'm 10/10, but as the only woman, QOM!

Don't be silly-this is a willy waving thread.

Used the Garmin for the first time on a club run yesterday and went through a whole heap of segments. Unfortunately club pace is slower than usual strava pace so made little impact on any leaderboards.

Tell them to pedal faster

Sorry, had to double quote that. Made me chuckle.

I spent the vast majority of the day on the front and got told off a number of times for pushing the pace too fast, especially by Bob, but to be fair he must be nearly 70, and he's only got little legs

I did nab a second place here: http://app.strava.com/segments/856810
We split up down the path and essentially TT'd it to the end. We had a potential new lady member out for a first ride with us and she nabbed the QOM!

Just lost a KOM. Only had it two days, and it was a joint one at that

I think there's some foul play going on though. What do you reckon? http://app.strava.com/segments/1260982

Flag the ride-top speed 62 mph

Yup, car journey there.

This segment is pretty weird, odd that two guys have managed to set times on it...

The second place time of just over three days looks beatable!

A colleague just mentioned that he and his mates went for a ride on Saturday that took in Toys Hill.

Me: "Are you on Strava?"

Him: "What's that?"

So I showed him.

Him: "That's cool."

And then he dashed off to sign up and email his riding buddies to tell them to do the same.

I got caught out by an ambulance whilst on a nice little climbing segment (along with almost getting left hooked by some idiot 107 who overtook me then cut infront of me to avoid the ambulance but I was already slowing)

Was only 2 seconds slower than my pb as well as needing to reindex the rear gears

Sent from the Holodeck on my Tricorder

LOL, that segment I thought I'd never get KOM as I wouldn't be trying as there a major rbt in the way, I did, must have timed the rbt right, that and it was around 6:30pm or later.

I've set a goal of one KOM, and it will be this segment http://app.strava.com/segments/1117925

6 seconds to cut >
