I use strava every time logged as a normal bike otherwise I can't compare against my mate's times. Having said that none of us are interested in climbing segments - it's all about the downhill times. My mates have been amazed that my Levo leaves them for dead on the downhills mainly as fitness...

In that time I've done almost a thousand miles on it, mainly at trail centres. Ride most at Llandegla, Lee Quarry and Gisburn but work away...
