Strava Segment Created for Everton-Beechworth Rail Trail Section.

8/2/2012

 
Strava is becoming quite popular with cyclists. Using a Garmin device or an iphone with the Stava App running you can record your ride details then upload your ride file to Strava for viewing. Strava will pick out any rides you've done where there has been a segment created and you can compare your ride against others who have ridden the same segment.Most of the major climbs now have a Strava segment,including all our local Alpine Climbs.It's very interesting to compare yourself against other riders and also note your improvement.  

I've just created a segment on Strava that includes the climb we do on the Everton to Beechworth Rail Trail every Wednesday.
I started the segment a little past where we enter the rail trail near Diffey Rd to the end of the climb before you start descending into Beechworth. I hope I've set the segment up correctly and I think I have but we can also create another if need be.

Strava then looked through it's Data to see if anyone else has ridden this segment and has found 8 others. Currently I'm in the number 1 position so probably should keep this to myself as once others get on board it wont last long. I've seen a few riders on Wednesday with a Garmin 500 which is what I used and as I mentioned earlier you can use a iphone.So I'm hoping a few others will join Strava which is free unless you want to upgrade to premium membership.

I'v also included Strava's Mt Buffalo Segment to give you more of an idea on how many others are using it.
The Mt Buffalo Segment has been ridden 527 times by people using Strava.

I've also created a segment for the descent out of Beechworth which is always full on. I don't know how long it will last but top spot has my name on it.

Tony - I'm really getting into Strava. It's a brilliant tool ... Problem is you find yourself racing against the clock all the time trying to get a PR ! You may note that I proudly have a couple of little KOMs on my ride home. Cheers !

Lantern I've noticed quite a lot of Strava activity coming from you.
Well done on your KOMs,now you'll just have to come and test your mettle with the Wednesday bunch.

Ive often thought about this little test, will have to give it a nudge.......when fit! Where exactly does it start/finish?

The start is somewhere near where you saw me taking a natural break,I'd estimate about 100m from entering the trail,I'm not 100% sure but if you go to the segment and blow up the map it's a little after where we enter the rail trail. I set the finnish to be the end of the climb just before the the trail starts to descend into Beechworth. It's 11km total.Click on the view leaderboard in the post above and you can pretty much see everything there.

Great to see a post on the rail trail. The Beechworth leg is certainly one of the most challenging, though the down hill ride away from town is more enjoyable. Jamie (Beechworth)
