You can’t remove the start time, but you can change it. If this is a new activity, save the ride as private, if it’s already there, mark it private so nobody can see what it is you are trying to hide

• In the Strava screen for this particular activity, click on the spanner icon and then select export GPX
• Open resulting file – called NAME_OF_STRAVA_ACTIVITY.gpx
• GPX files are text files and can be edited. Use a decent editor to do this – on a PC, I’d recommend notepad++
• You’re looking for lines that contain something that looks like <time>2016-12-04T11:02:29Z</time>
• If your ride was over several hours, then each hour period will need to be edited separately:
• Change every occurrence of “T11:” to, say, “T18:” (changing 1st hour from 11am to 6pm)
• Then change every occurrence of “T12:” to “T19:”
• Every occurrence of “T13:” to “T20:”
• Etc

The date (YYYY-MM-DD) can also be changed if required:

• Change every occurrence of “<time>2016-12-04T” to “<time>2016-12-05T”

Then:

• Save the file using a different name – ie. From “Work Dodging morning spin.gpx” to “Productive day after work spin.gpx”
• In the Strava home screen, click the red “+” on the top RHS of the screen and select “Upload Activity”
• Click the Browse button and go to the place where you saved the new GPX file – on a pc, it might be “C:\Users\YOURNAME\Downloads”
• Strava will then upload the new activity. If all is well, delete the original – private – activity.

And remember, if it's on Strava, it may not have ever happened

Or...you could just start you spin at a different time? :P

OR
You could simply mark the individual ride as private so noone but you knows you were out.

So annoying when you take loads of KOMs but they don't count because you have to mark it as private. I wish I had that problem
