if you think yer good, go race, go prove yerself there, in the same conditons as everyone else with all the shortcuts taped off. that link posted is a great read, showing some great perspective on the ludicrousness of Strava. Strava means diddly squat, its inaccurate (i once had a 7 sec deficit on a mate i followed into a trail 2m behind and exited 2m behind, was on his tail the whole way? go figure ?). My local has some of the most amazing singletrack, beautifully winding its way through the small forest it occupies to make the trail last longer, and i see strava cuts everywhere.
it does my tit in!! sometimes a corner is cut accidentally due to going in to a corner way too fast and its the safest way out, (richie does it in the video near 3:04) I'll hold my hands up to that, as i'm sure everyone's done at some point, No more gay than mtb'ers who take 'strava' lines.
