If it's a KOM say over 2 or 3k then I reckon it's worth a comment as well as a Kudos.
Only for something out of the ordinary
Ultramarathon training run -tick
Race longer than a half marathon -tick
First ride back after significant injury - tick
100miles solo - tick
Long rides in really shit weather -tick
I've a circle of friends who kudos everything, I usually prefix short/easy road rides with 'pootle', they kudos those, I feel bad for not giving any for their commutes!

Yep, Bramley born and bred. Live in Sheffield now though. Where are you?
Whiston, my Grandma lives in Bramley.
See you on Strava some time?! I'll Kudos you for walking your dog!?
Following on from this - how many of you title your ride with an excuse as to why the ride wasn't very fast or impressive? I have quite a few Strava friends who do this. eg "Head wind all the way round ride" or "Wish this head cold would do one"

So I dish them out if people have been riding with their kids, or somewhere nice, or posted good pics, or a funny ride name, as well as for big rides and KOMs.
Generally this plus decent efforts etc.

I occasionally do this but more so I know what happened on the ride, plus I'll also title when it's lovely out so why not the other way around!

I'm always slow.
My last ride was titled "Reps of Farley hill", the description was "it's not much of a hill".
I got Kudos from a friend for Strava-ing a rollercoaster. I didn't even get the KoM.
Only really do it if I lm out for a ride and catch/am caught by another rider and ride with them for a bit. Trouble is that half the time they then do the request to follow me and I'm a proper miserable bugger when it comes to that side of strava, so I ignore them. Must be the inner roadie coming out 😉
@TINAS - it's enough of a hill if you start from Swallowfield or eversley each time 😉
I strava'd the Thomas the tank engine ride at Drusillas, I was bored and wondered how slow it was going. I got a KOM and kudos for that.

Can't tell if you're being ironic or not, from the river to the top is just under 40m! It's saving grace is its on my doorstep and there must be 5 or 6 routes up so I can do laps without getting bored. It's like a roadie trail center, only without a cafe and 900 Rapha/sky tops like box hill.
Today I did laps of Hose Hill, again small, but feels more bad-ass with the hairpins and trying to get through before a car smashes you into the hedge when the other light goes green.
That's using strava for logging

Stand up piddling is the closest I could find
