Flagging on Strava

[r0adrunner]

Wouldn't it just piss you off if you opened your Strava profile and found that 3 of your ligitimate rides were flagged, all in the space of 5 minutes? Yes, I know that you can now just "unflag" them yourself, but some idiot was probably pissed off because I took his KOM and is now just flagging all my rides for no reason.

 

Strava cannot reveal the name of the flagger, so there is just nothing I can do about it.

 

Am I taking this too serious or would it also piss you off?

 

I would be very unkeen!

 

Not taking it too seriously

Please explain Strava to me

 

In simple terms it measures point A to point B

Anything that happens between A and B is irrelevant, you can run over grannies with little hondjies, kick and beat fellow stravassoles, shout STRAVAAAAA to announce your arrival on the unsuspecting.

Then you get home and check your profile, if it doesnt have any KOM k@k you flag all the other poephols so you get to the top.

If they dont like your actions, you resort to a fist fight

 

Simple really

Good grief man, do people still run and walk?

 

Ya they do, a few old timers, but especially the lycra clad race snakes after I smash them up the hills.

easy KOM easy go

shout STRAVAAAAA to announce your arrival on the unsuspecting.

If someone had to shout that to me on the trail I'd fall out of the way from laughter.

 

Edit. I will admit that I've had to give myself a stern talking to after taking myself too seriously whilst chasing times.

Sounds like too much hard work.

its a lot harder apparently than riding your gearless, forkless bike up rocky inclines

As a pub crawler I only practice on topless tjieks.

I think Strava is a great way to have some fun and track your own progress.. At the same time see how you are doing against other riders, especially friends, but there is no way you can take it seriously when you have guys finishing segments at 100km/h

I once found a segment in my area that had never been ridden, easiest KOM of my life, had a smile the whole way up the hill

There are no friends on Strava

Wyatt - you got it all wrong brother...you actually ride less on Strava.

 

With Strava you ride between the segments in your granny gear. Wait hold on - Stravaphiles would not have a granny gear.

 

Ok - you roll easily in your 56 tooth XX1 front ring between segments. The only part that you go balls out, head down, elbows in, mouth yelling is during the segments.

 

If you look at the ride as a whole you only have to try for 13.285% of the ride - the rest is "active recovery".

Who goes out to purposely try and get a KOM, bit sad aint it.

I tried to get a KOM on my last ride on may 31. The descent from the mast, did really well until the last corner. 4 ribs and 6 vertebra and 10 and a half weeks later and I still don't have a KOM.

 

Well, that's my excuse for losing it on the tar section on a route I have ridden hundreds of times...
