    Noo.

    Don't do it. I sent a screenshot of today's leaderboard to the gf and I got this response:
    WOW! That actually impresses me! But don't race x

    Sounds like I just found another segment I need to go 'via' on the way to work.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    How come you managed to ride up OKR this morning? Police had blocked it when I got there @ between 08:40/08:45 which was only a few mins after you started your ride...

    Thats a pretty pointless segment, far too many lights! :P

    Morning. Spotted London Red, but not you. Where did you see me? Must have been between RH and Roehampton Gate at that time. Saw a few riders going C/W.

    Can you get Strava to display fastest of the day on segments then?

    Think its having problems. Equalled a KOM and smashed my pb on a segment, but nowt.

    Just deleted and reimported last night's and this morning's rides and all the data back to normal.

    Puff: I hopped on after the (first) roadblock. In practice it wasn't THAT blocked; there was a contraflow type filter thing just by the big Chinese.

    CJ: I'm a *considerate* rider... but people don't tend to mess :)

    Yup.

    At the top of the table you should be able to click on 'all time' and it will bring a drop down menu for "this week" "this month" "today".

    I'm not going to get the overall ever, so I'll be happy with fastest of the day and even fastest of the week (though I'm not that fast yet).

    I want a piece of Sketchley.

    He indeed does, and is a Dr according to the BC website. Quite amusing how many Dr's there are in a race results list. You'd expect him to be fast as an Elite.

    4th to 1st cat in a season, good going, that.

    Sorry but all that talk about PowerAwesometm, and Balham Hill and you can't even post a better time than a fat bloke on a Genesis (As you might gather I wasn't the bloke on the Pearson).

    I suggest you MTFU and start posting some decent times....

    I thoroughly expect you to come back at me on this, I'll hope you'll thank me for the extra motivation I'm giving you

    Edit: Also have you seen some of Dhope's times on CS7 or flying boogey for that matter? Both way better than both of us....

    Awesome is relative.

    The rest, OK. Fair point. Fair point.

    That's hardly a comeback. You're rolling over far too easily, a mere shadow of your former self.

    Meh, if I can be serious for a moment.

    I was thinking about retiring the Power Awesome anyway and mastering the Super Saiyin technique. Reckon I'll be good for it come July.

    I must admit I haven't used Strava for a bit. My knee's giving me grief so I'm trying to pootle. I don't think I've slowed down much in terms of mph, but the difference in effort is marked.
    I had a slightly extended ride last night and tried to track it using the Sustrans app. Horrible thing, I'll just use Strava and ignore the times in future.

    You say this but one day I'm gonna encounter Sketchley on my commute and I'm gonna think about the hard time he gave me on this Strava thread and all the hard times others have given me on here. I'm gonna think about not being fast enough, that ride with Greg66 and that time that girl scalped me on my commute. It's gonna build up, I'm gonna focus that energy, channel it, harness it. Things will happen, I might become a Super Saiyan, I might not become a Super Saiyan but things will happen. Awesome will pale.

    Well that's the motivation I use for Strava anyway.
