Silly STRAVA Racing

[HLaB]

I'm quite surprised of the high speeds on there. Must be some drafting of buses etc. Might have to take a slight detour on the way home one day to try this one

My mate shattered a KOM today, months ago I had the KOM at nearly 30mph folks have shattered it since, he was over 34mph today chasing a car that had cut him up .

Just found I still have a KOM here after getting a note that it was gone. Someone musta flagged it cos the one that beat mine was almost two minutes better. Dodgy.

Same thing on this one too. I think these are my only remaking KOMs and if anyone genuinely takes them then I give in! Nearly killed me both times!

2nd and 3rd on TWO Major STRAVA section run in to MCR on an 'iccle Fixed bike (with panniers) - just 77" gears.. Hah hah.... get in.

Willhub watch your pants.....I have no gears (or pants as it nearly burnt a hole in mine pedalling that fast). Finally I get a decent run in to MCR.......

Anyone ever get a stranger follow them on Strava. What's the etiquett. Is it polite to follow them back or just let them watch.

I realise all that sounds a bit dogger-ish but I can't rephrase it any better.

I tend to follow people back assuming I know them from here.

I've started to like the average heart rate over a segment


I like stuff like this. Your heart rate shouts "not even trying"

I wish that was the case, but two things I reckon my max is around 165, predicted is 172 and my Garmin strap takes a while to start to register my HR at the start until it gets a bit sweaty! I think I could squeeze out a bit more maybe get it up to an average of 23.2mph over the 2 miles. I wager the KOM will last less than a week lol.

Oh look who is in 9th place on my KOM segment http://app.strava.com/segments/1687321 and Check out his pages and pages of KOM Lol http://app.strava.com/athletes/170553/segments/leader

I would check their profile before following back - I had someone follow me recently who it became obvious was a spammer as soon as you looked at their profile: no rides, just dodgy links.

Pah, I did a side by side comparison with him and my figures are higher:

Admittedly I stopped reading after the first line...

The guy's genuine. We are on lots of the same segments. He wins.

I would say I would be comfortable with that, just saying he is competing with you?

Sounds good to me. I would follow him back.

I did one of them today which i didn't know about - up to 4th without trying
