The KOM PRs are lies, and it's not my fault.
Thing is, Strava won't let me disavow those PRs without flagging the entire ride.

Ah, software.

The core of the problem is a bug in Zwift--one that I have noted previously.  In some cases, when riding in a meetup with "stay together" mode enabled, Zwift will raise all group members speeds to about 28mph, plus or minus a bit.  This results in some hefty PRs.  In today's episode, this glitch impacted two of us during the KOM climb.

28.1mph on a 5.4% (average) climb?  Not really within my range, folks.

The second problem is that Strava has no mechanism for denying a PR.  I either have to accept the bogus PRs or deny the entire ride.  All or nothin'.

So let's be clear:
- I rode 22 miles on Zwift and I want credit for that.
- I *did not* earn top-20 spots on the "NYC KOM Reverse" and "NYC KOM Reverse from Ground Level" segments.  Those results are bogus data generated by a Zwift glitch.
- I *do* want to remove those two PRs from the standings, but Strava provides no mechanism for doing so.

...but it was a nice ride with enjoyable conversation over Discord.
