out of 139k who signed up and 119k who are actively participating. I can refresh the screen and probably loose 100 positions in next 30 minutes.

But what's trippy is there were climbs (and descents) on my route that are things according to Strava. I had a pretty good idea that a hill from a river bed near where I live was well known to local riders but didn't know it also gets timed by strava. So unbeknownst to me I set a couple PRs today and yep, I'm now number 872 out of 990 on the all-time leaderboard! woo-hoo. Even more comical is apparently someone got out at 6:05 this morning and beat me by two seconds, so even this early in the day I'm not even today's record holder. Damn you Mr Choudry.

Anyway, if you're a PR kind of guy, I can see how Strava can hook you, I'm feeling the tug.

I got in 23 miles, and pretty hilly around here, 1300 feet of climbing. finally on the power curve to get 100 by the end of the month and yes, win a t-shirt. Should be able to get out this weekend and finally make some progress against the field.

PS Bike Virginia makes my summer, riding's a breeze compared to a couple months ago.
