And that brings up 1000km for September. The legs will appreciate a week off next week.

Close to a 27mph avg this morning for one short sharp drag, no tailwind and full double panniers. I love it when the fog messes with my Garmin, the right way.

Initialised

Highest average speed home on that route but just a bunch of 2nd bests.

More luck with the lights than awesomeness.

Commute in and NO achievements!

I'm so proud

Single speed bloke in castelli shorts. Riding through pens ponds just now with no lights. I said as I went passed he should get a rear light as I barely saw him, he went MENTAL shouting his head off, grabbed my arm etc. Can't remember his actual reason for being totally invisible but clearly he is not only a bit devoid of common sense but he is also has a screw lose for such a reaction.

Then ten mins later some hoodrat wannabe tosspot shouts something at me and tried to chase me (on a bso) obviously he failed. But an eventful evening.

I'm having that KOM on Brixton Hill. Four times now in the past fortnight I've been close, only for some bastard to pull out on me, or a bus to indicate, or the lights right at the top to be red.

I wonder how I ever used to motivate myself on the bike before I knew about Strava.

MrGrumpy

Not my fastest average this year for the commute, been over 22mph average last month but chuffed for an end of week thrash considering the weather was rank rotten. Also grabbed a couple of KOMs this week but not of much significance cause I ain`t no climbing goat

Did the London to Brighton off road on the CX bike on Saturday, rather punishing but the Strava Flyby is quite entertaining, especially as I 'win'.

asprilla

Ah, so that's what all the nutters streaming across the ped lights and roundabout in Weybridge were all about. They all looked knackered and were breathing out of their arses at that point so lord knows what they all looked like by the time they got to a hill.

veronese68

Yes, I was definitely one of the quicker ones on that ride, which says more about the general standard than about me. I was very good and stopped at lights and crossings.
If you watch the Flyby as we come into Weybridge you will see the point I missed an arrow and carried straight on for a bit before going back to pick up the route. About 30 people followed me the wrong way. :oops:
I upset a lot of people as I just rode round them on the climb up towards the station.

Got my KOM back, absolutely leathered it to then find a car at the worst possible point, still cracked it though and I know I can cut pleny more time if some numpty driver stays out the way.

Pretty happy with 11 KOMs on Swains Lane yesterday: http://www.strava.com/activities/200362573/

Then a 9th overall on Leith Hill the day before: http://www.strava.com/activities/199959863

Good weekend indeed.

Ooooh, 4 cups and a KOM over a sub 15 minute section GET IN!

Colinthecop

Went for it on this segment today...

http://www.strava.com/segments/7452537?filter=overall

Got the KOM but as an equal first... i wonder if uploading it from my Garmin rather than iphone will make it a second quicker...?

Colinthecop

Yes it did, shaved 1 second off so i'm no longer sharing...

It's sad, but it made me smile. 8)

Well done, obviously the Garmin is more accurate than a phone. That would certainly be my story.

If you are that desperate, you can always edit the gpx file.....

I'd have just ridden it a bit harder next time.

Colinthecop

Harder...?

Are you having a laugh...? That's a 3km segment that required a +50kph average. :shock:

I had nothing left by the half way point and 3/4's of the way in the reserve was empty too. :oops:

You should have switched to Normalized Power, it's always higher than regular Power

bad_ash

I just posted this question on the General forum, it might have been better here. Basically is there a way I can record my commutes on my Garmin 910XT, but not have them show up to my followers since I don't want to spam them with small unimpressive rides (not that my longer rides are impressive either)?

EDIT: And I mean via settings on the watch (or on Garmin Connect/Strava) so that I don't need to manually edit each ride on Strava after it has automatically synced?

Speed AVG = 41.1mi/h MAX = 30.4mi/h

The average speed is a glitch, look at the analysis: http://www.strava.com/activities/201993 ... is/210/235

Speed AVG = 27.mi/h MAX = 30.4mi/h

The devil is in the detail.

Nice one for owning milbank!

Slight glitch. I "can't find" the report button. How odd?

Everyone - turn smart recording off lol
