[Closed] MK/Woburn riders bin the Strava

WOW!

YOU ARE COOLER THAN OTHER PEOPLE!

Are GPS's and strava banned during races then?

Someone might want to know that, despite not winning, they got their best time ever over a certain piece of singletrack or they got a quicker time than their mate who'se faster overall and was a lap ahead do them up a certain climb?

[edit] if there's one thing that racers/wannabe races tend to love it's stats and averages 😉 There's a lot of turbo trainign with an hrm done in the 'closed season'...

Where and what sort of racing Olden?

oldgit by name.... 🙂

I got some of my best KOMs during races and I'll (or someone else if they beat me to it) often set up lap segments to review a race.

Is hating Strava a bit like claiming you don't like Facebook?

Kerv. At the MK Bowl, it's actually a great little course. Oh and XC racing. Get there to start at 7pm.

WOW!

YOU ARE COOLER THAN OTHER PEOPLE!

Thanks.

TBH I'd thought I'd help some folks here. There was a post not so long ago were people were trying to work out how good they are against other riders by using Strava. Well why not actually find out?

just off there myself. I hope start is 715 or I'm playing catch up...

Strava via GPS from a phone is not capable of accurately timing a trail segment. Full stop.

really enjoyed that. Using the steps as trail obstacles was inspired !

Good wasn't it.
Didn't take the steps, kept thinking of those immortal words from Star Trek 'Captain she can'ee take any more' cost me about four places every lap 😥
Took me most of the race to relax on the off camber as well.

Need a nice golf course circuit now for the old roadie legs.

I was watching, not racing. You might like to know that the 29ers were having a much easier time on the steps.

Someone pissed in jambalyas chips 🙂 or hes justifying his non kom status with that authoritive statement.......

Im guessing your day job is a gps researcher then or you know nothing full stop ......see i can sound authoritive on the internetz too haha

Some people take strava waaaaayy to seriously ....

Its a bit of fun its never going to be 100% accurate and it certainly isnt going to replace real rAcing

Those that can - race those that cant strava

What it is is a good training tool to drive you harder doing intervals on your jack jones

I thought strava was a coffee machine

Well the main reason I hate Strava and don't use it, is because my phone won't support it.
Lumia 710 in case it's me?
