Tarheel Trailblazer Group on Strava

Ok, let me start by admitting this might be a horrible idea, but that's never stopped me from doing something against my better judgment in the past. 

I noticed recently that Strava has a club section where you can join and keep track of other club members.  I searched for the TTB club and no one had started it yet... so again, against my better judgement, I went ahead and started one.  I'm happy to turn this over to a residing club officer at any time.   

If you are on Strava and care to join the TTB club here is the link:

Its the hottest thing in drinks hitting the market this season, with a taste of summer dancing on your tongue with a hint of spring lingering in the after taste.  To quote its biggest fan "it taste so good when it hits your lips!" 

Strava, one taste and you'll forget why you are.

Strava is what you yell while passing people on the trail at full speed trying to get a KOM.

I think you're confusing Zima with Strave....

As far as I'm concerned, you can log whatever miles you like.   

To take a step back, my impression of the advantage to this club through starva is to see who is riding similar trails and times/speeds that you ride and possibly either meet up with them to ride together.  That or use their times to motivate you to ride faster.   

You won't find my name any where near any KOM's on strava but I like to use the app to motivate myself as I ride, knowing even if I'm not setting a full lap record, I might be able to beat one of my previous segment times.   

Anyway, with that said, log whatever you like, you might find other road riders in your area.

I can see the value in that for other riders. Smiley

I wish it did something like put (THTB) in the standings for the "today" in Strava.... that way you could look at your times for "today" and find members in your club that ride the same trails as you do.

This might just be on the web site for strava, but I noticed recently the tab for "View Flybys".  This actually shows other people on the trail the same time that you are/were.  So you could possibly follow these people and potentially introduce yourself and see if they want to ride together.  By possibly utilizing the TTB club on the strava site, you could find those people easier.

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.

It's not a THTB group but I would imagine most people are on both.

Sorry but - is that T-shirt supposed to say "What time?" 

I use Strava just to get a map of the trails or route I took and to get a (shortchanged) elevation guestimate because my Cateye ain't all fancy...
