2 KOMS tonight and took one segment from 46th to 7th. Am quite pleased with the 46th to 7th, first time I rode up it a few months ago, an old boy came sauntering passed me on it as I struggled up it.

Just got a CycleChat 1,2 with MattOBrien of this parish, and when we stopped so Matt could adjust something on his bike I found a decent quality screwdriver sitting on the road. Score!

I know i have been quiet on here for the last few weeks but i have buggered with man flu and suffered KOM withdrawal symptoms. So tonights ride would be all revealing.........
35 miles, 8 KOM's and a 2nd place.
I'm back.

Nice one! Could also be that several people are just creating their own segments on the same climb but have different finish or start points. For me there should be one, maybe 2 tops. Start at the bottom and finish at the top. Simples.I can beat that, i got 11 KOM yesterday....5 of those however were all on one climb(seems to have been a glitch with stravas auto segments in that a few people who have riden up the hill have had a segment created automatically but they've all started from different bits). Suppose the right thing to do would be to flag the segments

Yay, I win, I win!
Mr Andrew Culture actually posted a time good enough to have taken the previous KoM and then set a gruelling pace for the next five miles to punish me for beating him.

I live in cycling country!! They come to my neck of the woods in droves as it's pan flat on one side of the motorway and on the other it has enough hills to punish even the whippiest of whippets. Most segments have anything between 50 to several hundred riders. I mean c'mon 1 KOM was a 10 mile TT seg with a time of 20:56. There may have been some form of wind encouragement but it also involved several junctions and through a town.Do you live in the middle of nowhere?

Several hundred? Fairly small then! *cough* http://app.strava.com/segments/842028I live in cycling country!!

I might just have been faster until my body caught up with my will and I spent a few minutes rolling around on someone's driveway trying to soothe my cramps!

Ok Ok http://app.strava.com/segments/3723844Haha, nice one. There is a sizeable difference between those who use Strava and those who use Strava whilst doodling along at 5 mph. The top 10 of the 5000 odd leaderboard have barely hit 400watts. Too many commuting miles on flat roads and not enough gradient.
