    For anybody familiar with Regents Park, i'm sure you will know that after 4/5 laps it becomes a little boring.

    Why does the elevation vary with each lap?

    When I first signed up to Strava and was experimenting, it said I was moving at an average of 7.2 km/h, even though I was lying in bed at the time...

    Either satellite error, or someones nicked your bike.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Picked my target segment the other day (aim at really going for it on one segment per commute), gunned it, slight headwind but felt happy, got home and found the GPS hadn't synced until I'd got part way through.....Grrrrrrrrr

    I did the same on Embankment yesterday morning only to find that Strava had stopped recording any data after Putney Bridge

    Strava seems to have gained some popularity throughout 2012 :shock:

    Jan 2012 base Mile Blast participants = 1,196
    Jan 2013 base Mile Blast participants = 34,461

    How do I delete a ride? I appear to have taken a KOM last week on Barnet hill. By 10 seconds. In full on commute mode while carrying a mucus monster. Probably into a head wind.


    Edit. Thinking about it. Maybe I am just awesome.

    I've yet to upload a load of miles, it pleases me to see the only people doing more than me are pro's.

    Top 5 on Redheugh North (thanks to the number 53 and some spirited drafting).
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    Interesting. Strava has a ride recorded for me on 1 November 2027. But looking at the stats it seems old age will have caught up with me by then.

    6 bloody minutes. That's pretty much the time wasted at traffic lights.

    Don't worry. I'll be after that soon. The segment LDN->BN looks pretty savage to get top 10

    I do have a 5th overall here: http://app.strava.com/activities/37424284#603140074 which is ok out of 1400 people!

    It's amazing how any different routes people use for LDN-BN.

    22.6mph ave for 20 mins, in full commuting attire? ...

    By heck, you Londoners are lucky I've let you off the hook for a while.

    An article about Strava in the Sunday Times today having interviewed the guy who runs [url=www.http://veloviewer.com/]Veloviewer[/url].

    I can't read it all cos I can't be bothered to subscribe to the ST but it doesn't start well...

    Edit: full article on FB

    Edit: Looks like my observation powers are strong, after reading the article it appears it is.

    It is indeed me. I was only expecting it to be a small article next to the cycling column of the paper. Didn't realise I would be page 5 of the paper (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BCvS0OWCQAAXqg6.jpg:large) and on the internet.

    You should have seen the look on the photographers face when he saw the rack. He tried so many different positions to try and get me standing in the way of it so you can't see it.

    But alas, when the photographer got back to the lightbox, he decided not to go with the shot of you straddled over the pannier rack, using your thighs to obscure the black metal, and your hand cupped tightly round the saddle.

    Reminds me of the time I was interviewed by the one and only Hugh Pym on an bit the BBC were doing about Science graduates going to work in the City. I was under the impression it would be about "transferable skills", instead the final edit portrayed me as if I had sold my soul to the devil.

    Just signed up (yes, yes, late to the party). Managed a 4th place along Great Suffolk Street, but way off the pace everywhere else. Not too disappointed given I haven't actually ridden a bike since the end of September.

    I see Big Matt has the record for a particular section of the Old Kent Road. I'm guessing that speed was achieved coming down from the flyover, though, yeah?
