Absolutely, well done!

 

[Andrew Wilson]

Thanks... The Vendetta has given me new motivation

 

[DavidCH]

I reckon you can go even faster next time... Even so... absolutely well done

Me and the local fast Tri Guy 15-20 years my Jr have a friendly rivalry. He has most of the KOM's in the area, 2 of the above I took from him. Today I got in an early ride before the rain and took another KOM from him. An hour or so later I find I lost the KOM. I looked at his Strava ride and he did a quick ride out...took the KOM back. Then road back home

They are all going to have to get extra magnets for their speedometers.

If you get too good at it your friend might just buy a Vendetta

I had a similar rivalry with several friends but unfortunately, I don't let myself use the V20. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever taken a KOM on the V20 in my home town out of some sense of fairness, I reserve doing that for elsewhere. I feel like such a troll when I take a KOM back the same day or the next and I love it. I always do so by only a few seconds thanks to Garmin live segments, that way I give them hope to go try again because it's still within reach. It's my roundabout way of helping my friends improve through rivalry.

Nothing can hold a vendetta like a deposed kom.

 

[Andrew Wilson]

We both played again yesterday.
I took two more KOM's and he took two more back
He really should show his elders more respect

I think you and Bruce would get along great, He does the same thing. As to riding the V20, it's my only chance My back and neck are so screwed up that I cant put down the power on my Cervelo anymore. I think the guys here understand BTW. I just started using Strava Live. I love it.
