How the hell does someone get 67 mph and a 4 second KOM round the dragons teeth at Gisburn .

Occasionally GPS devices have a "blip" and misrecord something - I've had a segment marked. Somehow I'd managed to do 140kmh [b]uphill[/b] for a kilometre! The rest of the 200km ride was recorded completely correctly.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it, it's only a trail centre. 😆

I've got times on dragons teeth having never ridden that section. It's too close to other bits, and it's really, really short. I wouldn't worry.

Forgetting to turn off Strava in the air ambulance? That happened recently...

Strava does advise that segments <1min are balls due to the resolution of the GPS recordings. So yes, chill out.

You could literally do that on Dragon's Teeth. Depends how desperate for a KOM you are, I suppose.

We have massively fast descents over a few hundred vertical feet on the Weymouth seafront.
