Three new KOMs tonight. 
Only two really 'count'.
One is a virtual duplicate of the one that does 'count' (and even then there are only 60 riders on the leaderboard), and the other is a 'Billy No-Mates' segment that no-one else has admitted to riding.
Also...
Should I be concerned? The 'Carlos Fandango' all-singing, all dancing Edge 500's barometric altimeter said my house was at 'minus 1 metre' elevation when I got home. This surely must be wrong, else I'm going to be in big trouble next time we have heavy rain, surely?

There's quite a few parts of the uk below mean sea level. If you don't live in one of them you need to calibrate your altimeter or update the firmware. If the error is recent it might be the result of an update.Edited by el stovey on Sunday 22 June 07:37

Anybody live near the tour route? It would be interesting to see what times the actual riders get on each strava segment - see if they beat any if the current KOM's
if? the KoM's on the route are already resigned to losing them. I follow Laurens Ten Dam, Belkin rider on Strava and a few others, in last years tour I'd get my daily strava update, 15 KoM's, 39 2nds ec, bloody impressive.
It will really depend if they attack the climbs. Most of the Surrey Climbs were not KOM'd in the Surrey Classic, Phil Gilbert was about 25 seconds away from the box Hill KOM when he attacked on it.
Some of the times are very fast set by local pros who have hit them on the right day and unless a full blow pro is giving it full beans lots of them won't fall I don't think. More likely it will be the flat ones where bombing along at 30 in the bunch is so much easier than anyone could ever do alone.

It's pretty flat directly around Presto where I'm based so cycled down to Parbold to do Parbold Hill for the first time today.
Strava happily tracked me on the 20 odd miles of flat bit down to the hill then it must have lost signal as it's Feckin jumped me perfectly from before the hill to after the descent, cutting out the interesting bit and missing some rare metres of elevation gain for my stats, the b

How hard is the 48hr challenge?!
I'm on for 1000km for the month and am only just over half way on this challenge. No one in my club is passing it and only 2 PHers appear to have surpassed 48hrs.Even MadDad hasn't done this one
Steve
This still leaves 6.5hrs still over the next 3 days! Hopefully I can do it but it will be tight!
The 48 hour challenge is not on the official Strava challenges page? It's not the first one to be a secret neither.
I'll get nowhere near it this month. I managed two hours on week two (first ride back after a collision in Feb), and doubled it each week to 8 hours last week. Now I'm on 18 hours 13 mins, after a 3+ hour ride on Monday. I'll be chuffed to reach 24 hours this month to be honest, as the road to recovery has been a tough one
