I keep on getting an email on a segment near a mtb course, I like to think its just folks forgetting to switch their garmin off and the top speeds of 70-80mph give it away!

I was feeling a bit dweeby and sad about commuting to work possibly for the last time on my trusty old 'vintage' touring bike, but regained KOM on a nearby segment, which made for a fitting Swan Song. Quite pleased as (like most KOMs) I gained it on a bike that's as old as I am and while wearing commuter clothes and a heavy rucksack!
By this afternoon I'll likely be on the single speed that is bridging the gap between my trusty tourer and a Triban 3, so doubt I'll be getting any KOMs for a while!

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.......
I'm not in Manchester anymore. What segments were they?

Had two segments tied were I was pretty quick in the last couple of days. Just googled the guy. Turns out he is a world duathlon champion. Think there will be a few segments falling in Cheshire........

Might have a crack at some segments in Manchester next Saturday, but I've got 29 miles to ride to Kirkburton and it's got almost 3,000ft of climbing so can't tire myself out!
Getting the train to Manchester specially to do some segments

Oh that Segment fossyant, you're still 4mph away

No KOMs but an overall PB time for my ride into work this morning. Getting close to a certain Mr Gaz, of this parish, for a few of the segments around Clapham Common!

Got a few PRs on my ride to Brighton and Back, Today. Very hot but an awesome day for cycling...! Probably most pleased with my PR on Ditchling Beacon. 54th (out of 1705)!

Tell ya what, getting a KOM in Yorkshire is harder than in Manchester. I got the one coming into my village though, and I stopped sprinting half way because I thought my wheel was about to fall off.

That's bad luck. Wind almost always behind coming from Manchester and should shove you up Emley.
