Just went out trying to get a KOM on a hill segment this week. Was fun for me, but wasn't a proper ride. I know I know...segment hunting is HORRIBLE!
Got 2nd overall though, so that convinced me that there is hope yet! So now I won't rest until I get that crown. I was always a sprinter (running) growing up and now that I've found some sprint segments for the bike...it's hard to stay away. That's where my strength lies, so I mainly ride the trainer inside right now to work on endurance and climbing, then go out segment hunting. Spring should yield much longer actual outdoor rides.
