I look at it like an equalizer of sorts.

I have a full time job, and if I had the same amount of time to ride around all day I would be just as fast, if not faster than the A Group riders. Jumping into an A Group ride on the weekend with the new Trek flagship E-bike is fine. Deep down, I know that I would be leading the pack if I had more time to train.

Same thing goes for Strava. Just because I am training disadvantaged, that doesn't make me any less capable. I should be able to enjoy a KOM like anybody else.
