IMTBTrails Strava Club

Who are you talking about?

 

Some chick who lets her Strava run while riding the lifts at Summit and superficially beats @Faust29 in climbing feet because of it and cramps his style.

I make a new ride for each run while riding lifts, more so because I’m a bit OCD.

 

Just lurking, but wouldn't it be better to know your feet climbed per mile, as in elevation gained divided by 50% miles ridden? Or the inverse, if you're more into logging your descents?

And what about recovery rides..do you simply not record them or put them in a separate file? Seems like they'd skew the good numbers and take down your average mph, etc.

Just curious.. not hating!!!

 

That is why it is just an average of all rides. Yeah, my Thursday Blackstar Socials drag down the overall numbers. Also why I don't like to do flat rides.

I'm sure the Velo Viewer that @MattB posted in this thread probably has the ascent only numbers. I'm good with elevation per mile.

 

Let me know who it is and I will vaporizer her. That's not what Strava is for...

 

Seems like riders on a structured program get no joy. My old road riding schedule had me doing two super easy recovery rides a week, then a short ride with sprints, a day of intervals, etc. My numbers would suck compared to riders just doing distance or climbing all the time, but my fitness was definitely improving in all aspects. Guess I'd keep it private.

kioti out.

 

She's still there, but her Summit runs are now flagged.

 

I'm at 142 feet/mile for the year, which is up from @130 the year before, and @120 the year before that... I record all of my rides, even though some drop my average. It all works out in the end. I even record my ride home from taco plaza which is 6/10 of a mile, and loses 40 feet...

I ride a lot more in the mountains now, which accounts for the elevation increase and balances out the flat rides. My recovery spin today was a whopping 79 feet per mile.

 

I'm at 111 feet/mile. Too much road riding? I'll try harder next year.

 

You'll have to join more of our Big Ride Saturday's next year.

 

Yep. He mentioned coming down several times, but I guess the rides weren't big enough.

 

Ha!! I have you all beat. I'm at 74 ft/mile, and dropping!!

 

its that awesome commute you do! San Gabriel river bed to Long Beach trail to Downtown! All on dedicated lanes except for the bridge crossings and Belmont shore!! I really miss that commute ride! Morning and night! Made me hungry and fit for Mtbking!

Hey Runs,
when you do CC ride on your own let me know. We can make it official IMBT CC. I was about to register when I realized 4/7 date is bad for me.. I still have to finish CC... last year my derailleur hanger snapped off at top of Mariposa on Blackstar and then I had to do the walk of shame thru the mud...

 

C'Mon guy and gals...

So were gonna have a Strava club and then use 1 metric to rule them all! Perhaps it should be named the IMTB FT/Mi club.

How about some of our awesome descenders like @shawndoh , @MattB Chad etc , those guys a SS were awesome a week ago.

Or our adventure riders like @schillingsworth

Or your own "Hot Lap" time

The FLoop Army..

Folks post your Strava rides use your own metrics what's important to you ... or not.

I like to see what others are doing

 

I upload every single ride I do to Strava. I apologize in advance to the families of those done in by the resulting boredom.

 

Ok....fine. How about a couple of DH's.

Blackstar.....Hidden Ranch to Pavement



Blackstar.....Hidden Ranch to Art's Place

 

Gotta tell us which trails can't tell by desc.

Put the links to the segments

One of Mine..

https://www.strava.com/segments/2681385 — Motorway DH Helipad to 1st Gate

Still hanging in Top 10 this year...wonder if it will hold out...

 

I "road" down SART from Honda Center to HB Airshow and back on Sat., 33.6 mi, 332' elevation-
9.9 ft/ mi.

 

Hell no! They're all faster than me going downhill!

And for the record, @shawndoh has me beat in most of my local climbs.

 

Updated

 

Dang.....I'm :34 seconds slower on the SS than you were on the Bronson.

 

16th out of 33 IMTBers on that segment... I'll take that for a single speed running Racing Ralphs. Of course, I've probably ridden Motorway as much as anyone since it reopened. I should be faster...

Oh, Man! I want to include the climb. I move up 2 places.

 

Hey! I'm not last on that segment.

 

While we are bragging I'd like to add a couple. I used to have the KOM on both of these segments. The first is a flat grade the other is a slight uphill. Not bad for an MTBer.

 

I got a pretty fast Raijin SS run in there somewhere...but not as fast as that.

Somewhere my fastest Peak to Bottom via the Jims is in the SS during the CC

 

My fastest from the peak to LHJ was during VQ... Through the mine field. Probably not my brightest DH. Shawndoh has that one, too! Good thing I pay for the premium, so I can filter by age. I get rid of him and mtnbikej!

Looks like this one? I don't see a peak to wash segment.

Main Divide to Trabuco Wash DH

Hmmmm.....I PR'd that on a Harding to San Juan ride.

 

Dang.....Shawn has me by a 1:22.

 

Ohhh BTW DANG Avg 25+... On those little wimbly wambly tires you run.. you would find me washed out ... Balled up ....begging for mercy on one of those high speed corners...if I tried to go that fast.
