Strava KOMs

Hmm, is there some simple way to see all your achievements? Not just KOMs, of which I have zero, but personal bests etc?

I’ve got 3 KOMs, didn’t realise I had 2 of them until now 🙂

+1 I’d like to be able to see all the segments on the map and be able to filter them (like KOM, top 5%, top 10% etc…) to tell me where I’m highly placed and where I need to push it more.

From what I can tell on the roadie I’m strong on short sharp fast climbs, but rubbish on long drags….

There is loads of info on the URL below if you upload your rides.

I actually saw someone take mine. Watched a fast looking cyclist hammer up a road that there’s no other reason to hammer up. Checked a few hours later and sure enough my KoM had gone. I was in the car at the time. Should have pulled out and blocked the sod.

Fab, cheers Richpips

I have now, Snake Eyes is mine, Mmmwwhaaahaa 🙂 Bet it doesn’t last long long 🙁

A couple for running, not cycling. Think it means even less when in the context of running though tbf. Still quite enjoy having them though!

My son has an 8th place on one from yesterday’s ride. OK, so only 14 people have ridden it, but he’s only 3 (he was pedalling hard on the back of the tandem).

Is it naughty to genuinely have to break the speed limit on a segment? One of my KOMs is an average speed of 56.9kph in a 30 limit (that is fairly accurate – I’m using a very recent Garmin which is pretty accurate). 😳

Is there a singletrack Strava club or should we start one?

yes – 2. Both regular rides of mine but curiously not v popular generally. One in Islington and one MTB in Wiltshire. Got a 10 out of 508 in the Peaks (MTB) at the weekend that was quite pleasing. Would have had a top 5 if I had known where the section was.

Beats Facebook into a cocked hat!

307.

upto 23 now as managed to get a few this week and not loose any for a change

I’m top 10% (top 40) on the new Swinley loop, not bad considering I did a couple of extra bits of singletrack*, I was absolutely dead though by the end as I ride there and back which adds 12 miles!

*the long muddy drag which I can’t believe is supposed to be the new track parallel-ish to seagull in the opposite direction? The old bit round the resevoir rather than past the ‘freeride area’, and climbed the old DH track up to the clubhouse rather than the fire road.

That veloviewer is pretty good….!

It is!

Excellently I just discovered I do have a KOM. It’s a push-up path 😆 Fastest pusher EVAR

Looking to bag Hipster Hill[/url] in Dalston (LDN’s Hipster Quarter) on my Marin City Sport dressed head to toe in Altura….

Bugger that is another second I will have to find somehow….

Sorry DT78 …. You’re going to need to find some more. KOM time now 2:20min 🙂

I’m going to have a go at that one in Lordswood on Monday, as i’m too lazy to go anywhere else to ride that day.

Seperately, managed to pick up a few more round Swinley & Peaslake recently which is nice!

90degrees is one of the few that is evading me. Will have to man up and mash those pedals at some point.

I’ve just lost another (I didn’t even know I had) it’s been mine since June 14th 2009 🙁
I think that’s 5 I’ve lost this week.

Thought I was doing ok with 50-odd and then Matt chips in with 307! 😥

I’d take it all with a pinch of salt.

After some very odd times both too fast and too slow I thought I’d do some testing.

Took 2 iPhones out and compared times from the segments.

Most of the segments had different times of at least 3 seconds.

So it’s not accurate at all, just use it for a laugh and nothing else.

It’s unfortunate but we all know it.

I still love it though.

Just heading out on the bike now. I missed a segment a few days ago by 1 second so I’m determined to get that one!

just make sure you take two iphones 😉

I dont have Strava, but surley this must be a high contender for going down…… Newlands Pass towards Buttermere

Max is irrelevant, average speed between points is what matters.

Sorry pjm84 and DT78 but its now down to 2:13 😀

Kudos given!

Not sure I can find 7 seconds on that run at moment. Maybe a one or two with a Rocket Ron on the front but that’s the limit at the moment.

Jamie might find a few more but 2:13! Chapeau

Sorry pjm84 and DT78 but its now down to 2:13

2.12 now, sorry 😉

If I rode it a bit more & knew where I was going a bit more, I reckon there is definitely a sub 2 minute run there.

Short lived KOM 🙁

Still I’m not sure my 150mm Meta AM with minions on is the most competitive (getting my excuses in). As you say I think 2 minutes is possible though I think my limit is 2:05.

3 today…

One for me! Was at the end of a 30 mile ride and felt good so went for a local segment and smashed it 🙂

I have one, along a stretch of merseyside’s finest canal of all places!

I found one ripe for the picking! I got 5th last week when I stopped, went back, did a bit again, then trundled down the loose rocking road of discomfort on my hard tail. 5th!!!

Bitch gonna be mine I thought. Today, game face, bouncer, high speed compression off, go faster sunglasses. Pinned it. Hit all my lines. Felt sure I 2nd at least. Nearly checked at the bottom but though no, this will not change how i ride [much], got home, STRAVA NOT RUNNING!!!

Turns out if you minimise it while it’s still ‘locating’, it doesn’t play…

well now I know.

Whats worse than no koms on a ride…… Getting a kom on a segment you alteady had 🙁

How ever least i know my seated power is inproving as it was into a headwind today 🙂

Hmmm. I’m on a 100mm FS 29er but now have a Trigger 1 29er lurking. Thought that might be a little over biked for around there but it might be interesting to see what it can do once I get the thing set up.

I did it on an SB66 with a Fox 36 on the front…

It’s a bit flat round there for that, but that’s all i’ve got!

I just had to revive this thread, as I’ve just got another KOM (making a grand total of 3 😯 ). OK so I’ve only beaten 6 other people on my new one, but I presume they were all riding bikes – I was on a unicycle 8)
