Everything now recorded as eBike so no-one else is affected.
Good man 😀
Leave it, no one with a life will give a shit
Simple equation. The more a person says this, the less of a life "THEY" actually have.

I have 3 kids (1, 6 and 11) I have no life to speak of ha ha ha. However, I don't give a crap about strava KOM's

Fair enough, but why do you think other people who get a bit of enjoyment from Strava leaderboards don't have a life ??? Come on tell me I'd love to know 😀
Well done Mrs Toast, what ebike did you demo?.
so it was massively good fun to ride up a hill at 11mph (I'm normally sub 3mph, my Garmin autopauses as I'm going so slowly!).
I eventually decided last July that i had to get an ebike as it took me 6.5 hrs to ride the 29 miles to a mates house on my tripster over the back roads in Galloway - I'd get to top of a hill and have to stop whilst on the bike and propped up next to a wall or fence as if i got off the bike my legs would crumple and i'd struggle to get back on, the only way to ride was to take it one hill at a time. Eight years ago it used to take me 1hr 40mins on my single speed road bike for exactly the same journey and it was getting a tad demoralising when out on a local ride to get passed by the retired walking group when climbing road hills around where i stay - to be fair to the walkers they did offer encouragement by helping to push me up the hills 😀
I should be KOM of everything for e while
Unless someone else has been going fast without defining segments 🙁
Well done Mrs Toast, what ebike did you demo?.
It was one of the Haibike hardtails, can't remember if it was the Xduro or Sduro though (I'm too short to fit on the full sussers!). It did bring on entirely unreasonable fits of giggling. I would love one, tbh!

well said. If people complain to you directly then you can explain about the e-bike. Most people couldn't give a monkey's
And those that do care will just flag it. Like if you're in a car. Not really a correlation with having a life though?
Still think you've done the right thing.
Back and will start naming the sections later this evening. They will be very similar to the existing ones but begin with E-
They will only appear if you log your ride as e-bike.
Non-E Bikers welcome to log their rides as such to compete with me. Us cripples are less 'up our own arses' than some of you norms 🙂
More sections should start appearing over the next few days
Great.
First I get shunned to the eBike section of Strava
Second I lose all my KOMs and trail times
Third I lose all of the trails
Fourth I have to ride every trail again and add it into Strava as an eBike trail
Fifth I can only add ten sections every 6 hours
Tonight's start
E-Two Minute Loop - Almost the same as Two Minute Loop
E-Head for Burnt Logs - From near the cross roads at the end of two minute loop to the top of the DH runs where there are some burnt logs
E-Right down to the River - From burnt logs clearing head right down to the river
E-Right Left and Long - From burnt logs start the same as above but near the top turn left and the trail carries on to the fire road and is longer
E-First Left and Straight - From burnt logs start as above but turn immediately left and go pretty much straight ahead until you reach the fire road
E-Burnt Logs Original - From burnt logs go down the trail which has a small jump/drop and then crosses the trail you would use to ride/walk back up to burnt logs. There is an almost u-turn and then down to the fireroad
E-Corner Cut - Heading down from the bomb hole there is a turning in on the left that cuts the corner
E-Redundancy Start - Starts near the cross roads that Corner Cut avoids. This is the section up to the point where you turn left to the end of Corner Cut or Right to finish the trail
E-Redundancy End - This is the section if you turn right and continue to the end
E-Redundancy Complete - This is both of the above
Non-Bikers please feel free to set times on these trails. You will need to record your rides as eBike rides so they wont show on your normal section times but you don't care - right?
Did you try support they are really good, they might actual do that for you, I'd imagine a fairly simple qry and add the prefix.
It is tempting to have a go, if I do I'll wear my hr monitor and you can see the point my heart explodes.
All he times at the moment are on minimum boost and stopping to work out where I should start and finish. You could KOM the lot on a tricycle at the moment.
Have you done the more DH biased stuff over by the gas works, with the reworked step down after the fire road?
Trouble is they a re a bit short & bunched together so the GPS tends to have a bit of a fit there.
As a side point, there seems to be quite a few new trails being worked in, not finished yet, but new stuff is always welcome 🙂
DH by the gas works I haven't logged as it is difficult to tell one line from the next on GPs.
There are four DH from the burnt logs area a bit further in but on the same hill that I have logged.
New trails are always good and now I am back I intend to add a few. If you know Slayer I am thinking of exploiting that hill. Look out for new stuff happening there
I'm not sure where the burnt logs area is, sounds like the hill the gas works is on, down the end near the crossroads where the kennels are?
I know slayer, there is a variation being built there already but it's well hidden as its not finished, there used to be some old trail near the start that went down to a bog, that's a decent gradient hill to build on too...
Mrs M gets her e-bike Friday, she doesn't know it yet but the last few months OT (has been a bit of a slog) have paid for it so she can DESTROY me on every climb, like she did when she had a demo day.
HOb Nob - I think you are right for the location. there is a small clearing with some burnt logs on the side
Ming - if you are near Southampton or can make the Big bike Bash then bring her down
No, the E-bike Demo day is on my list of (2) rides that have been stricken from Imperial Records, the other being Dusk to Dawn from a few years ago where I"nearly died" from hypothermia.
Nearly died = after exhausting all my wet gear in two laps followed by spending entire night in a tent shivering so badly I I thought firing up the gas burner to cook a soup might result in burning the tent down.
I'm tempted to buy an ebay just to get all my local climb KOM's lol

You'll just get outbid by some rich roadie.

You'll just get outbid by some rich roadie.
doubt it unless he takes his road bike off road
