2am riding Strava routes is maybe a sign that addiction has taken hold!

True, but in mitigating I spend my weekends looking after my baby while her mums out at work so any moment I can grab I do so

Made a cock of myself this morning
. Caught up a fast group in traffic near Tatton Park. They were riding mid 20's and I was happy to just hold on to them and keep a good pace. Came to a segment I thought I could top ten on, so put a bit of power down and shot off in front of them. a couple of minutes later could hear them catching me as I started to blow after the end of the segment. I must have looked a right tit. The only saving grace was I didn't get dropped by them all the way to where we went our seperate directions. I did wonder if I should have said "sorry Strava segment" but if they did not know what Strava is I would have appeared even more weird .

Yay posted my first top 10s today, and got 2 out of one ride! Chuffed as you like. Is it cheating when you've done it with a bit of drafting when riding in a group of 2 or 3?

Nah not at all. 6 of us went through a few segments 4 days ago and the poor buggers in 1st went straight to 7th place. Though we weren't drafting proper. As long as you are cycling then it's fair game.

Feel like I've cheated 
discovered how to make segments today so made a few and Ive got koms on like 3 that I have created feels like I've cheated abit even tho there are a lot of riders that have rode the segment

If there your driveway, the path to your back door and the path to your front door and the other riders were your relatives, you have cheated, if not its fair game other rider will soon find them, somebody has to create themFeel like I've cheated

So I should delete the one down my stairs through the door and stop at the front gate?

On my ride last night I was feeling pretty strong at about the halfway point, where I know there's a segment, so I powered along the segment thinking I'd done pretty well.
Got home and had a look at my ride only to find that the segment was in the other direction

No keep it. Just don't be upset when people start cycling through your home.So I should delete the one down my stairs through the door and stop at the front gate?

That's when you make a new segment in the other direction.On my ride last night I was feeling pretty strong at about the halfway point, where I know there's a segment, so I powered along the segment thinking I'd done pretty well.

I did that one a ride where I gave it so my I had to lay on a verge until the flashing lights and pulsing vision subsided enough for me to limp home gently sobbing.
