Silly STRAVA Racing

[gaz]

Be twice that in a few weeks.

I have a new method. My legs will decide half way up a climb that i am going too hard and start SCREAMING AT ME. My response is to then change up a gear! That will teach them who's boss.

78 tries? PSSSH I have 16 segments with over 400 times ridden. 3 of which I am KOM for.

That might be so, but I only joined Strava this year.

I only joined strava half way through last year.

Good method. Problem is, if I try that I'll end up in the gutter.

I only commute 2 days a week and when I go on a leisure ride, try to get in as many miles as possible. So it isnt really about the segments when I go out although I do like to push hard when I know I can get a good time.

Now if they made that in a nice cycling jersey, short sleeved and small..................

To be fair there have been a few times that i thought i might die of the pain. Can be a real bummer picking the gravel out of your tongue after too.

When you look at one of your recent rides which you did this segment on, do you see the segment name in the main list shown under the ride? Or is it in the hidden list?

It was hidden strangely, I changed that yesterday and today's ride came up with the achievement on this evenings ride so that must have been the problem, thanks
Could it be if it started just inside a privacy zone which I have since for rid of.

If it's inside your privacy zone then it won't register. That is if you don't ride out of your privacy zone first.

It won't appear as an achievement if the segment is hidden. so that should fix it

35 mile route today.

5 KOM's, a 3rd, a 4th and a 5th. Better than a day in the office!!!

Now time for some well deserved . Could murder a pint.

You're a machine

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

You're a machine

I wish.
It did turn in to 6 KOM's today but i can't really count the last one as someone made a new segment and i am KOM out of 143 people. Could i claim 6 KOM's in one day?

You must be a pretty handy rider Pedro.

You must be a pretty handy rider Pedro.

Used to race BMX when i was younger so the handling has always been there.

Not even the best climber in my club though mate.
Though he does weigh about 10 stone and have a power to weight ratio close to 5watts/kg!!
I do alright though buddy. Constantly getting faster!!!

Nah, he lives in scotland. We all know there are like no cyclists in scotland. Easy pickings :P

Ain't that right Pedro
