To the OP: you're clearly loving that nice new bike. But regarding mountain bike clothing, I think you need to acquaint yourself with The Rules:

Ignore the rules. They are infantile in the extreme. Don't submit to peer pressure from people you haven't met.

Ah, strava. It's an app that records your rides. Segments are arbitrary sections of a ride that you can compare your speed with yourself or others. Anyone can create a segment, so there are tens of thousands. The fastest person on any segment is the King of the Mountain (or Queen).

That particular segment is 2 circuits anticlockwise around the fountain at buck palace. Which is weird, but I managed to do it accidentally while waiting to meet someone.

Install it on your phone, create an account, set it to record your activity and see what you think.

Maybe there is one rule for roadies: if it's not on Strava, it didn't happen

(you don't have to obey that one either)
