Whats your VeloViewer score?

[HLaB]

99.99
Sorry chaps, you will just need to live with it, the mere fact that I only do remote segments that I create and only I ride means nothing nor the fact I zig zag my way in to work to avoid segments doesn't either nor the fact my Garmin thinks I am riding on a 3500mm rear wheel....

Seriously, thats why I cant be bothered with strava (and just use it for record purposes), some sad people do things like that or use digitalepo etc.

like yourself I use it mostly for recording the miles I do, If I am close to a kom I will give it a go,
I was reading about digital epo the other day

not good if one has to sink that low to use it.

Most importantly, how will it affect your RITMO rating?

I am marshalling next week, but will be racing on the 15th most likely.

They run every Monday until August 17th, then we have an interclub 25 on the 14th Sep. Hill Climb up the Cat and Fiddle on the 18th July too.

Ritmo at around 2.5, so presume it might decrease with 3 rides faster than I usually ride
(I know - who cares!)

Its a handy gauge for yourself too see where your at and to get PRs, but some of the segments seem mental, certainly on my commute. Although I know one of the guys who has been getting alot of the KOMs around Fife at the moment and I know that he is defo the real deal! He is has set is stall out for missuers Hardie and Sharp

RwGPS gives a better analysis of your individual attempts at a segment but strava has the advantage of privacy zones Craig went through a stage when he was going for (and getting) nearly every KOM but I don't think he has bothered much of late. When I see his name or other folks I know they are genuine despite being phenominal!

No

It's percentiles.

You never reach 100.

Not sure how VeloViewer works, but I know how percentiles work - 1st percentile is between 0% and 1% and 100th percentile is between 99% and 100%

I'd suggest you read how it works.

I don't use veloviewer, so no need to

You should know better than to comment on something you haven't read

Loser

I was commenting on percentiles comments, which I did read
Just had a look at veloviewer though and it looks like a pretty nifty bit of kit!

You know me well enough to know I give short replies and CBA with details.

I'm not on the new veloviewer, and aint loading the fecker up over here with an open internet connection. The developer knows his stuff and likes his stats too It was me who told him to look at using percentiles and cumulatives for segments.

Just read this on the website which may help...

So, the easiest solution I can see is to ditch the term “percentile” from this column and replace it with something like “Position Score” with the higher the value the better. It will remain to be calculated as it is now (100 * ([number of riders] – [position]) / [number of riders]). This will make it simpler for more people to understand, especially if they know it is between 0 and 100. It should also remove the confusion for the real statisticians out there. I’ll also remove the % as well and just provide am “out of 100″ type description.
