MrFine Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Had a good ride today. Everything and all conditions in my favour Do a reservoir climb in my area allot and today I saw they had scrapped the dirt road so well it could just have been a tar road. Normally loose gravel and rocks to deal with. Well as you can guess I got a couple of KOM.Am I a Stava opportunist or just in the right place at the right time. Well I guess someone can rock up tomorrow and do the same. Mylolylo, nonky and Oufy MTB (Roadie) 3
Madlight Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Right place right time.... If you don't motor pace or 'forget to turn the Garmin off' kudos to you. nonky 1
Oufy MTB (Roadie) Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 As naas would say "at the end of the day its whats on the scoreboard that counts" So long it is under your own steam Sometimes the wind is at ur back and robots are green RossW, Yusran, nonky and 1 other 4
Dicky DQ Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Most dudes who are anxious about moving up the ranks choose ideal conditions to try and get kom's. even going so far as only doing that segment for the day. Who cares, we can all see if you did that or if your com was part of a proper ride.  I never worry about kom's set up if they are not part of a proper ride. To each his own. nonky 1
IH8MUD Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Right place right Time. Not any doing of yours that they scrapped the road. Any body could have been there, same as you. RossW and nonky 2

flyguysa Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 The only thing you did wrong is to advertise that a segment you have just KOMed is easier than before. The Stravanites will be stealing your KOM far too soon now....

The Stravanites will be stealing your KOM far too soon now....That would be great.Like to see a lot more riders around my valley.Got some great rides and routes in and around the Mooinooi and Buffelspoort valley
DIPSLICK Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I use strava to gauge myself against myself,,,,,cough cough bullsheet, ok I agree if the robot gods work with you , Mother Nature blows your way, and you get no mechanical assistance, then on that day all the moons have aligned and you are KOM for a day,,,good for you, because tomorrow, Mother Nature might just favor someone else a little more Oufy MTB (Roadie), Madlight, IH8MUD and 3 others 6
Bonus Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Right place right Time. Not any doing of yours that they scrapped the road. Any body could have been there, same as you. Well he 'says' he had to use the tar road . . . . . ./wink wink/ :-)Â
IH8MUD Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Wait till the road is bad again . . . then go and beat your own KOM! Then have 2 beers. KOM is nice, but rather click the "My Results" button and see if you have bettered yourself. KOM- feeling is nice BUT is really only for yourself. Nobody else really cares.There is always guys faster than you, that don't give a rats ass about strava. Edited June 18, 2014 by IH8MUD mrbaker and MrFine 2
T-Bob Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 The world of Strava is no place for a man with a conscience. Â Take it, claim it and wait for the Kudos to flow... and if anyone takes it off you then go back with a 4x4 and really make sure it's yours! Warren911, Wannabe, nonky and 2 others 5
