Silly STRAVA Racing

Someone has been deleting my segments lately. Thats 2 KOM's I've lost now.

Deleting or flagging as unsafe? If they're segments you're creating then only you can delete them.

If they're flagged then is it with good reason?

Some of them have been. One has been up for a long time with noone complaining. Someone out there is probably upset that I took their KOM.

Then re-make them.

Just updated veloviewer for the first time in a while. Damn i've lost like 20 koms that strava didn't tell me about. Some of them will be near impossible to get back (short sprints with others using android phones).

I need to loose some weight and get faster!

Don't we all

Don't we all

Must be nearly stone heavier than when I used to cycle before.
That finished about 1992 when the company moved. However though my distances are modest (35 miles) yesterday knackered me, I feel fitter than I have for a long time. At least the dog walks stopped me being totally unfit

Tried out strava's create ride tool and put it on my garmin for directions. Really easy to do and worked perfectly.

Is that in the premium ?

Is that in the premium ?

yeah whilst it is in beta. Should become available to all when it's out of beta.

You should in fact be able to see the route I just created - http://www.strava.com/routes/7356
You can select all your own points or just do from start to finish. You then have options to choose a route that is min elevation and/or choose a route that has the most popular segments. You can make it show bike lanes/paths but this data looks crap.

My ride from yesterday evening has been automatically linked with someone else's (even though there's some pretty big differences in speed and route) so it says it's ridden by me "and 1 other".

Is there an option to get rid of that link? It feels a bit creepy to be paired with a total stranger like that.

Nope, just means at some point you rode x amount together.

You can delete your ride or make it private if it really bothers you.
