If the goal is "get out and ride", shouldn't it not include indoor rides?

Probably. Dont think you can stop them showing though.

Just joined and already in third place! Boom ?

 

[Zimmerframe]

Uhmmm .. better go and collect my bike at some point then.

Us Frenchies aren't allowed out on bikes during lockdown .. so if I hit 100km it will be 100km round the garden - sounds like a worthwhile challenge

Hey @Rob Rides EMTB what’s up with this? The Strava leaderboard seems to be all over the shop... I’m showing as 19km when it should be more like 130.

 

[Zimmerframe]

The strava leaderboards can sometimes be hours or days out of alignment from reality .. It'll probably catch up with your stats soon enough.

Not quite sure how it's going to work out the 100k over 4 weeks though as the leaderboard shows this weeks results and last weeks results .. and only the top 100 ... This is good though, maybe I can cheat and pretend ! I'm pretty sure I did almost 1000k round the garden last week.. with 100,000 meters of climbing.

 

[Zimmerframe]

@simonk You're showing as 62'nd for last week with 112 km's, and this week you're just below the top 100 at the moment ..

 

[simonk]

@Zimmerframe Good point, it’s a weekly leaderboard I’m looking at innit ?‍
Anyway, sorry, senior moment... as you were.

Sadly I cannot make it monthly / from when we started. Strava reserve these kinda things for the MegaCorp Brands and charge $$$ for their official 'Challenges'.

My Strava club is the pauper version ?

But they only cost between $15,000 and $200,000 ..... peanuts .... a ship load of peanuts ..

This man needs to win a map ! Is there a map up for grabs ? Just a paper one will do, it doesn't have to be electronic with a 3D holographic display.

 

[Trip Hazard]

Added my 2nd ride today. Shift work spoiling it for me, but should get over 100kms in no bother.

Amazingly the lockdown club has more members than the emtbforums club

Some spectacular photo's from around the world on members rides.

Remember people, if you're riding an EMTB - set your strava to "E-Bike Ride", rather than "Ride" or you're unfairly stealing peoples hard earned KOM's ! You're also giving EMTBers a bad reputation.

meh, stop stressing about strava.. had an e-moto beat one of my KOM's the other day on a segment I created

 

[Rahr85]

surely the majority of e-bike KOM's are going to be the same unless riding unrestricted?

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

I would imagine they would be pretty close even unrestricted. in my case the KOM i had was about 6mph average vs 33mph pretty obvious

 

[Cavi]

what is with one of the top 10 riders, has only 1 ride this week, like 125 miles, took only 1 hour, average speed 106mph??????? Scout's Honor??? I call BS....................LOL.....

Excellent .. It's a "request to follow", so you can't see the ride .. but most likely a gargantuan GPS error .. !

Riding downhill, yes, the KOM's will be pretty similar. However on certain cross country routes and climbs, an e-bike in Turbo will be capable of a much faster rate than even the fittest human on an MTB. Yes, on the road, a road bike will generally hugely outperform a lardy restricted EMTB.

So whilst I'm sure most MTBers won't give a hoot and would even be congratulatory if you beat their DH time on an EMTB, many who've slogged their guts out on the climbs for those KOM's will be peed off that someone's motor beat them - hence why Strava has "e-bike" and "ride". If you just want to see how you perform compared to others, fine, leave it as "ride" - but set it to Private so it doesn't count against the leaderboards - it's cheating and worse - it's completely unfair.

@dobbyhasfriends I take it you "flagged" their ride ?? Strava's so busy these days it takes about 4 months to get a ride unflagged even for legitimate reasons. I'm surprised it's not auto-flagged his ride ? I had one auto-flagged (Strava does it automatically, less so on e-bike rides though) because it thought I rode a segment in a car. If anyone had done it in a car, they'd have deserved a KOM !

Oh, and "Virtual" rides? Fuck off with those and get outside and ride your bikes!
