Like if someone hits a personal milestone or a century ride and wants to share?

I don't mind at all, but I would like some context to go along with the post :)

Like how long it took to reach the milestone, or if there are any experiences/tips to share with the rest of us.

Personally, I don't really mind as long as it's accompanied by either some context and an interesting story, or a photo of the bike (or preferably even both!)

I don't do trackerware social apps any more. I haven't checked in many years but I held at least a half dozen major KOMs at one point. I kinda got turned off to strava after seeing what it did to mountain biking. Like road stuff can usually be pretty safe for most people, but when someone is going all out on mountain with no sense of responsibility, people get hurt, especially hikers and new riders. I saw a lot of that and didn't care for it.

Not a fan but i will probably look at the post to see what that ride was about.

I think personal milestones are always interesting to hear about, they can be inspiring for others. Its also always nice to hear about how others are enjoying the same sport. But probably does need some additional flavor, if it were just a screenshot of the route with no story, that might get boring pretty fast.

👍

Knowing how much effort and dedication it takes to meet your goals, congrats are always in order, no matter how small the achievement.

I don't, I just tune that noise out. If someone wants to share a ride with me, they can come over and hang out while talking about it.
