Show us your KOMs on Strava

[Thor Buttox]

You still have the one in your old driveway?

No, the gardener pulled in fast one morning just as I was closing the gate.

Manage to grab the KOM but yet again I am sharing it. Haha.

 

Strava has a bug because it does not update the KOM on my activity nor my KOMs list. Only within the leaderboard.

A guy took a KOM I had for several years sometime last week

Average speed 296 kmh

Date of ride 1 Jan 1970

 

Despite flagging it it still sits there at 1

Wow, that happened a long time ago, move on, you shouldnt keep a grudge that long....

Die Muishond? Going so fast that time has surrendered

You guys don't know what it is like to live in a tiny town that has hosted National time trials and is flat as a pancake. The World 70.3 Ironman Champ rode a recent 90km in a HalfIM in under 2 hours during a massive storm with 80+kph wind and horizontal rain. It makes all my KOM's back home look like a total waste of time.

You moved to a place without mountains?

You must either not like riding your bikes, or really hated your old place/country?

I sit and look at pics of the Durbanville hills in the 'where does my e-bike take me' thread and get all misty eyed at some point I need to pull finger and either get a proper road/TT bike with proper cleats or I need to venture further afield to some trails. (But I have had about 15 KOM's since I arrived here in Aus so not all bad. A new driveway is always an advantage ^^^^^^^)

Tried my luck with a KOM yesterday, blew myself and my lungs in pieces...

 

Please Note: I weigh 62kg, so if my maths is correct it is 5.9W/kg

 

As you can see from the graph above, I ran out of gas at the end.

 

 

Theuns van der Bank really put up a solid time for the segment! Will be very hard to beat, but I will return in a month to try again.

 

I feel my strong point is short, punchy climbs. 

 

Happy with my performance but it was a real shock to my system.

Don't be so hard on yourself - that oke loves to draft behind his dad's car when taking KOM's around Durbanville - might be that he did it on those segments as well.

On the face of it, a Strava KOM is just another form of online dick-wagging. I do find them useful though as I like seeing my progress up the ladder as I continue to train. There is one segment on my regular route around Korsman's bird sanctuary in Benoni that I keep in my training rides no matter what.

 

Seeing that little PR badge after a ride is a pointless pat on the back that somehow really motivates me to keep going and train harder.

 

Also, if I can take a road KOM on a MTB with off-road tyres I'll just have something else to lord over my roadie friends.

Get your wind direction right too.

Pacing up that one is very tricky

 

Lekka man lekka ????????????????

[Pure Savage]

I lost a KOM on Saturday, but the guy is lekker and has a baby on the way, so will let him keep it for now

['Dale]

I got pipped last week by 2 seconds with a KOM I've had since 2013.

I cried myself to sleep that night. ????

[Spinnekop]

Jip......my "good friend" Cav' is busy mass murdering my KOMs near his house. 

Monster form and age helps....

 

bitch.

Im sure that QOMs will disagree.
