Strava question

[Katherine]

I came second on a segment today so I had a look to see who beat me and it's a bloke ! How can a male cyclist get a QOM?

Male name and a male photo.

Cos the idiot said he's a woman when registering...make a sarcastic comment on his effort

I've got one where I'm second woman, the first one was quite evidently Travelling with motorised assistance, significantly quicker than the fastest male, although perhaps a cynic...something like 33mph up a hill...yeah right. Although to be fair, generally she doesn't look a bad cyclist

I like looking at the placings...I dragged myself along a draggy slight incline the other day...I got a PR, the QOM about twice as fast as me...one Joanna Rowsell who's local she has a gold postbox around a mile from here

I got 2nd in the >200lb category once, and when I checked the leaderboard, I was being kept off the top spot by my mate, who weighs about 9 stone.

There is a segment around here where the ride posted by the female who has the QoM is 100% indentical to the data posted by her rde partner, a male, on the same day.

Does Strava have a tandem section? LOL.

I flagged my first ride on strava today . Its not something I ever thought I would do but getting into the top ten on a segment had me look at the other riders for their times . Knowing the local roads around here and seeing this rider had KOM on every stretch of road and they where at the national speed limit had my suspicion aroused It was the dual carriage way speed that gave them away . That and going to a school first and then turning around in a bus garage

indeed, i find KOMdefender very handy as it scans your routes regularly and tells you if it finds odd speeds/data.

Maybe he rides in drag

[QUOTE 3805775, member: 9609"]is there an idiots guide to Strava - I'm a bit clueless as to what you are all going on about, segments ? fastest times?[/QUOTE]
To be honest , its pretty idiot proof

Even if you do not have KOMs it can spot odd data like you mentioned, it recently flagged a ride at 70 kmh .

Surely its less drag if hes that fast

I've got KOM's

The only on road KOM i ever had (I held a bridleway one on the CX for a while) was when I didn't turn off the Garmin whilst being rushed to A&E by a kindly neighbour. In my defence, once I was back home, I did edit and correct the ride to where it had come to a somewhat abrupt ending.

Anyone used that FlyBy feature? Could be open to abuse if you ask me, but it's fun watching a time trial back!
