Strava Segments
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:22 pm
Been playing with Strava.
Some weird segments kicking around including a couple for our flat 10 and open 13 courses which seem way out.
Easy enough to create an accurate one for the open 13 - the start and end points are obvious on satellite view.

When i uploaded file from this years event my time for this segment matched the official one exactly. Strangely two other times from same event differed by 1 and 4 secs against above segment.
The Flat 10 course is proving a bit more challenging because not sure where end is! This effort is woefully short to the tune of about 1.6km

I uploaded my file from last event to give some idea but it's anyones guess how soon after passing Bernards car i pressed stop!

Do we have an "official" end?
