Strava Users?

[lihp]

It's interesting to see other peoples rides, routes and speeds etc, especially if there's anybody local doing the same segments.

Are any of you guys using Strava? If so, drop a link here

There is a bike chat forums club.

I have succumbed to this after work gave me an iPhone.

Not addictive at all......

EDIT - just joined the club too.

Is anyone else having problems uploading rides from strava to Facebook?

Do you do it via the app or the website?

I too I’m in.

Anyone bagged a cheeky K-O-M on their motorbike?

It always seemed to crash on my S2, so I now have a Garmin Edge200 and upload to the site then share from there.

FWIW: When I used the app, it always crashed while trying to upload and share, so I did the upload, then did the share after.

Yes, the weather was awful. I really didn't think it was going to be bad until the afternoon - so I thought I'd miss most of it. Turned out that it was raining after an hour or so of departure, and it did not get much better.

I had a bit of a gay panic at one point, on top of Coombe Gibbet, miles from home, unfamiliar roads, 10 yards visibility, alone, wet & tired. Had a bit of a 'What the fuck are you doing here, this could end badly!?' moment. I managed to keep it together, tho.

That's it for big rides for this year - I wanted to do an 80+mile ride in 2013, and that was my last chance. Very pleased as I suffered from no cramping which has previously always set in after 75 miles or so. I was absolutely crawling at the end, nothing in the tank whatsoever.

Nice work, it builds character.

[Rigga]

Yeah good work, 3 or 4 hrs round Dalby forest is usuallyenough for me!

Cramping is absolutely horrible, and I've never found a 'fix' - even the mighty fig rolls can't help. Once it his me, that's it, it is not going away.

I recently started taking Magnesium & Zinc supplements before rides to help, and I don't suffer from cramp any more. I'm not sure they are the actual reason, however - I forgot to take them on Sunday, for example. The real reason is just putting the miles in.

[lihp]

I keep seeing this often, but what the hell does KOM stand for?

King Of the Mountain - basically it means getting the fastest recorded time of all Strava users over a particular 'segment'.

Note that a lot of segments aren't uphill, so the name is not entirely appropriate!

[lihp]

I have a segment near me that I am the fastest time on. In a club, where only 2 people in the club have done the segment........

Does that count?
