Silly STRAVA Racing

And a good draft

Its a 20mph limit road. When I did my PB, I was doing 18mph going up the bridge and 30 down it. I will probably beat it in the summer, too dangerous to go for it in this weather.

Or you could go down a dead end road that noone has been before.

It won't be a KOM for long, somebody will route it out on veloviewer or something. I made one on my front path, the next day I had 100 cyclists in my garden

This one http://app.strava.com/segments/2176916 is a cycle chat 1-2-3 involving some serious drafting (apart from @Andrew Culture who was slow off the mark )

wouldnt that be the same thing? You would still be the only one who has ridden the route?......

And on my first ever ride on a singlespeed...

Rule two of Strava - prepare your excuses.

 

[Andrew_Culture]

just wait till your first KOM is taken from you......

Just wait till everyone in the local club signs up and annihilates your rankings

sorry still new to strava, what's a KOM

and when you here some of us refering to QOM instead, you will know 2 things.
1 the person concerned is female &
2 given that 90% of stava users are male, the likelihood is I am the only female who has cycled that segment...

What on earth did the fella on the Strava 404 manage to do to his steed?

Only 3 people! Hope to get it, and thought I had today but the GPS didn't pick it up, partly since the start's off the road!

I got a KOM on my way home tonight riding down a pitch black road in the countryside. I didn't know how fast I was going as I couldn't see the Garmin, so just went quick. Probably didn't need to put quite as much effort in.
