Cheabb78 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Some of the other bits don't make much sense to me... Edited June 20, 2015 by Cheabb78
Skubarra Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 True story - I had a KOM in Durbanville, a random indistinctive 100m stretch on a quiet back road out of the suburbs that I rode by purely by chance when doing some intervals on my road bike. (No idea why someone would have marked that stretch as a segment) Few weeks later I noticed someone took my KOM, he basically drove out to Durbanville from the southern suburbs (where all his other rides are). Literally just rode that 100m stretch of road & back + a bit extra to speed up (total ride must have been less than 500m). His comments section was full of high-5's and congrats on his amazing ride to get his first KOM and advice to keep that KOM and capture some further KOMS..... (and no, they were serious not sarcastic) Long Wheel Base and Wil6 2

blondeonabike Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I'd like to know who stole my holiday bike from my skoon-ma's house yesterday, and if he/she/it is on Strava - that R399 Dion's special was is no more. On a less serious note - I have 1 KOM to my name that I earned. The rest (9) were all created by someone (long) after I originally rode those segments, and some are even downhills.I still think those other KOMS count. The same thing has happened to me where people have created new segments. .........but fair is fair...if you were faster the crown is yours.
JohanC Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 My #KOM over the weekend: Bottelary Hills Green Extended route (lost about 3mins on the last ST due to traffic) Aiming (still) for sub 1hour this year.. https://www.strava.com/activities/329861932/segments/7811286108 Andrew_Smith 1

blondeonabike Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I would just flag it to annoy him.I think you should arrange and outing with at least ten strong fast freinds and you all sprint the segment together. So not only will this sausage loose his KOM...he will be off the top ten and not even have a trophy. Then you buy all your mates some lekker coffee and cake P.s It would be even better if one of the riders was a girl Edited June 23, 2015 by blondeonabike fabs, Spinnekop and Mats 3
Wannabe Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I only hold two, but not strictly KOM, as it is rolling hills, but over a fair distance. Both are on the same stretch of road. https://www.strava.com/segments/8235884

But they don't want to be my domestiques.

But they don't want to be my domestiques.I'd rather have my buddy have the KOM than the other paw paw. This could actually be a great idea for cycling buddys on their birthdays.......Everyone helps them get a KOM on the road. Edited June 23, 2015 by blondeonabike Spinnekop and Ryno. 2

Thought the results would be interesting one day after I raced that road downwind because all the races go up Adderley, never down (turns out I'm nowhere near your KOM) Edited June 23, 2015 by Skubarra Wannabe 1

Pure Savage Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I wanted to do this a while ago on Klapperkop with my cycling buddies. But they don't want to be my domestiques.Just don't tell them there is a Strava segment, just rev them up and then do a Rui Costa and sit in the slip and then bomb past for the last 300m
