Since the UKB Fell Running Posse has been ticking along nicely, I've just set up a UKB Cycling Posse Strava club for anybody two wheel-inclined.
Get your chamois cream at the ready: https://www.strava.com/clubs/ukbcyclingposse
P.S - I know Jim is at the leftmost in the lineup but I don't know who his three club mates are in the header image....
-
I'm in!
You guys need more hills!
-
Didn't realise you got out on the bike so much Chris!
-
I don't know whether you are aware Strava is often used by bike thieves to suss out where you live and come and break in to steal your bike(s).
-
Just got a new roadbike, so all keen. With my thumb so knackered I can't really climb or use my mountain bike (can't change gears) so it's the only thing keeping me sane.
Plus away to Lanzarote next week, and planning getting a bit of road biking done, so working on fitness a bit so I can actually enjoy some longer rides

Seeing I'm the only one in our road who actually closes their garage door, the risk is pretty low. And you can set up a privacy zone around your house if you are paranoid.

Oh for goodness sake, I'm completely fed up of Strava W*nkers. I have of course joined.

I had my first moment of Strava-wankerism the other day. Nice bit of twisty single track after a 25km scenic ride with the girlfriend:
She - "Don't go bombing off and leave me beehiiiinnnnndddd"
Me - "braap, braap"
She "I thought I asked you....."
Me - "I only went ahead to make lunch and get the kettle on" ;)
Still no fucking KOM dammit, even in the wilderness of Ullapool where only 12 others had been before.

Good little scene going on there...
-
May as well throw my (cycling) hat into the ring. Very much a part timer, so totally in keeping with my obsession with joining groups with which I'll never appear on the weekly leader boards. :dance1:
-
I'm struggling to tie up a few proper names on Strava with nicknames on here. Lanzarote was good, but a bit warm for any serious distances.
-
I'm in. Love a bit of Strava.
I'm also thinking of making a competitive calorie counting app for serious dieters called starva.
-
Genius. Already done though, with a less catchy name

I'm in. Back on a bike after a break of three years, so only just discovering the whole segment thing. It's a brave new world...
-
Get on it! I'm doing 42 miles on a charity ride on Sunday, going to be interesting.
-
:great: I'm in, just to add a bit of continental commuting fun (Tim B)
-
(Tim B)
At least I'm slowly figuring out who is who..
-
does it matter that living in Cornwall my segments are basically never going to match up with any of yours.. ?
-
Nope. Not like anyone lives anywhere on here lives anywhere near me. I can still fail to get on the leaderboards most of the time!
-
Have to arrange a UKB cycle soon eh? Haven't been able to run for a bit but keen for some two wheel action if others are....?
-
I've been surprised by how much some of you lot do - and then post here saying how rough they've felt all week :P
-
I've been feeling so rough you may note I haven't!
-
I use Strava... beat me.
full local lock down security. Dont even know if i'm searchable as a result.
Fat doc
my times are shite, I oft forget to use it for big rides.. fucking brill for my training mtb rides... so I can see how well i am doing. best use of the app I reckon.
-
Strava lock down isn't actually very locked down at all, unless you mark each of your rides as Private.
Unless you're not the Fat Doc in Sheffield and are really Claus The Fat Doc from Denmark, in which case you're hiding very effectively
-
Yeah, I thought I'd locked mine after getting some abuse for being 5000(andsomething)th fastest (slowest) on a ride at Haldon (I had two seven-year olds, a 9 yo, an 11 yo and an upset Mrs OMM with a flat; in tow).
Apparently not though, as someone else commented on my run last Thursday.
Who randomly decides to comment on a stranger's run/ride? Why?

Can you Strava pram pushing?
-
Only just seen this - I'm now signed up.
-
Can you Strava pram pushing?
You can, - you can Strava any exercise, but you would need to log it as a bike ride to show up on the UKB Cycling Posse page. Guess prams have wheels...
-
Will it automatically send a map to Facebook etc.. so I can take the piss out of the people on there posting :)
-
Not automatically, but you have the option to share on there if you want to.
-
Got my first video summary from http://relive.cc/ .. quite a nice thing (for free)

Just signed up for Etape Loch Ness http://www.etapelochness.com/ If anyone fancies it, I can forward you early registration invite.
-
As it is only 66 miles I take it you will be riding out to the start :lol:
-
I'm just a part timer webbo, I think that distance may kill me. I think it;s time to invest in a turbo trainer. And some winter / wet tyres after Sunday's near miss incident
-
What happened on Sunday?
Turbo, really? Can you not invest in some MTFU and just get out riding? What would Jens do?

Is it £60 to enter, that's scandalous a pound a mile.
-
What happened on Sunday?
coming down a steep switchback on really wet road, braked a bit too hard on back wheel and it slid out about a foot before I recovered it.
Unless I get the kids out of bed and take them with me, when i go out on an evening and mrs is out, i think turbo is a worthwhile investment
-
Yes! Well psyched!
Made it onto the club podium - 3rd longest ride of the week :boxing:
-
Yaay, sitting top! Oh, it's only Tuesday...
Can't believe the weather for 1st of November. Bit chilly on the top in the wind, but other than that I was shorts and long sleeve all day. Now I'm totally done in.
-
Bloody freezing tonight. Garmin said -2 coming over the tops at 8pm.
On the plus side all the new roads surfaces are great.
