Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not slow. I'm in the top 10 for most of the KOMs I ride, but I'm not going to sit there and try to get the top spot over and over and again and I'm certainly not going to ride directly to a specific KOM with the intention on getting the top spot. That's not the point.
That's not
your point. But for a lot of us it adds some fun friendly competition and gives us something different to do when we feel like it.
