To KOM bash or not?

[Steve Saunders]

I currently have a fair number of KOM's on strava, although most are on segments that aren't ridden by alot of other riders so are fairly worthless. Only a couple of cat4's that I'm proud of.

A colleague recently got a KOM on quite a long segment that is just off my "long" route to work. The question is, should I go and attempt to claim this KOM, just for a laugh. Or should I just leave it be?

What would you do?

Go for it and if you don't beat him flag the segment as dangerous

 

[Steve Saunders]

I like your thinking :-)

 

[Peter Armstrong]

TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!

Grow up. It's people like you that give cycling a bad name.

But make sure you grow up after being immature and taking his KOM.......

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Wonder if he's going to take yours

This is how wars start.

Is this a serious thread or am I missing something here?
If you want to try the segment just do it !
Seems like you wouldn't be happy with anything but a KOM, and embarrassed if you didn't get it

SOunds like you have just laid down a challenge to everyone on here from your area to beat your KOMs

Thrashing it... You know it makes sense!!

Surely you are just giving him a fresh challenge to retain the original title. IF you beat him your just helping him to improve. If he wanted to keep it a secret why did advertise it?

I have a holder for the Garmin on my car dash .......

This is what Strava is for! Unless it's another CCer, then things get complex, unless you're goaded...

 

[HorTs]

Go for it!
