VeloViewer Score

Veloviewer.com gives you a score out of 100. Mine is 94.70 (from 100 of 3142 segments). Is this any good? Don’t think there’s a way of comparing to the people you follow on Strava which makes this number incredibly ambiguous.

If you regularly cycle around Richmond Park which allegedly has the best cyclists in the UK then you will have a lower number. That is, unless you are one of them.
Completely agree Dippydog, if you regularly ride routes where there are TT's held or are in an area with a few strong clubs totally different VV score to quieter areas, just enjoy the ride.
I think the Leeds Chaingang would have something to say about that

I'm in Leeds too but must be slower than Rolf
Hmmmm, I would have thought the number was calculated using your relative position within segment rankings. So if you're 3rd on a segment of 5 people, you get a lower score than being 300 of 1,000. Conversely, if you're 100th of 1,000 your score would be better than someone who is 11th of 100.
As has been alluded to above, comparisons only really work if you're comparing against someone else in the same location as you.
Also, I think we can all be agreed on the fact that the best cyclists in the world come from the Isle of Man.

So if I get into an argument with white van man will I win if i'm on viagra
I think the main problem is that it assumes that everyone is going full bore on every segment. There are lots of random segments I just cruise through every time I go out. I'm probably therefore increasing the scores of the few who go all out on them. So personally, I don't pay too much attention to my overall score. I'll admit to paying attention on the climbs since those are the ones I personally like to aim at.
Honest.
