Strava question

[Racing roadkill]

I've mostly been using Strava to keep track of my routes and milage. But it's fun to get PRs. I do two kinds of rides, one where I go as fast as I can and one where I stop to admire the scenery, take photos, people watch etc. Even when I go as fast as I can, I still have to allow for other road users and traffic conditions, or when I'm on a cycle path, look out for pedestrians, dogs etc and other cyclists who don't know to keep to the left.

I mostly only do the stoppy, photography rides now.

Strava segments and times and all of that stuff, make me giggle. I found out a way of getting a guaranteed KOM though. Create a 170 mile segment, make it as convoluted as possible, include loads of hills, bingo, very little chance of anyone getting it off of you.

You shouldn't set us challenges

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 made a comment about him being a girl and the cheeky so and so has sent me a follower request!!

A classic Strava grooming technique. Very few people use it solely for cycling purposes. Be v careful Katherine!

I will. I only accept requests from people I've met in real life or already know a lot about.

Very sensible, I do similar but occasionally one or two slip through the net

I let anyone follow me in the hope I get groomed

You wouldn't, if you'd met Potsy...

Just noticed one of our local TT KOMs has gone. Suspiciously fast when you look at the other riders in the top 50 until you check out the guy, who is a blind member of the GB Paracycling team on a tandem.
