I'm not even a member of Strava but I still challenge myself to get PRs on the segments and see how I stack up compared to the top area riders. I wouldn't have any KOMs but would be 3rd on a couple of the lesser-ridden ones. I do know that most of the really impressive times on the local segments aren't done solo (evident because the ride dates for several of the leaders are on the same day and one or more of them say who they rode with in the description). Plenty of the top times also have hefty tailwinds (that I know because I've seen changes on some KOMs on days that I know had favorable winds). So it's not real racing and kind of difficult to draw exact comparisons of where you stand in the pecking order. But it's still fun just for the personal challenge. The fact that I'm not a member and could appear on most of the leaderboards if I was makes me wonder how many more people like that are out there who could shake up the standings if they wanted to. It's only area riders (maybe a few from up to 60 miles out of town) I've seen on our segments, so if a top pro came into the picture, it'd be all over for the locals. Just on a whim, I checked to see if Strava had a segment for Mont Ventoux, and lo and behold, Laurens Ten Dam was the KOM with something right around an hour from this year's TdF, putting to shame the mere mortals, some of whom had incredibly good climbs by anything other than pro standards.
