    Its not actually closed until 19 Dec, not too late to try. Though it was never clear what their revenue model was (no challenge jerseys with high postage costs 😉 .)

    Odd, telling Spanish speaks that the post is also available in “Spanish” rather than Español.

    Anyhow, kinda sad, looks like it might have been fun, or at least educational.

    The app is Spanish. Using Strava segment explore is rather selective. There are segments I know are there but it will not show them. It might be based on popularity but sometimes I am looking for obscure segments. Sometimes the only way to find all the segments is just to get out and ride the route and see what you get later. That is where Riderstate would come in, it would take me to new areas to bag the lands.

    Well that blog was painful to read…………… i presume that English is not their native language.

    Looks like Strava got to the party at the right time. Other concepts like this seem to be reinventing the same idea but in a worse, more clunky format.

    This is what I liked about the concept…it would get me looking at new roads and maybe inspiring others to ride the obscure roads I ride. I’ve been using Strava’s Heat Map for this but I notice it just highlights the segments everybody rides (which I guess is its purpose).

    Ohh what a shame. Quite a few people had joined literally in the last couple of weeks and started to invade my territory and make a game of it.
    Obviously there is no evidence Gkam ever used the app to base his opinion on. At least he has his No .1 post count on road.cc; though you don’t actually get that for riding a bike.
