Chance would be a fine thing!
 
It's a bit of a shame that so many identical or overlapping segments exist, I agree. I did a short ride Yesterday morning and it's a bit of a mission to search through all of the segments. There must be at least 50 on the front page and 167 hidden ones!

there can be some advantages to living rurally as well as some disadvantages. my last physio commute, a distance of 37km has in total 7 segments (1 of which is a private segment and another is a hidden segment). http://app.strava.com/activities/39969302

If I want to find more segments, I have to cross to the otherside of the M6... such as this ride http://app.strava.com/activities/40177083 last Friday. This 82km route has 20 segments on it. Only 6 of which are on my side of the M6 and that includes a private segment of my own.

I have to confess to having made a segment within a segment simply because the original segment ended about 25m from my front door therfore hitting my exclusion/privacy zone so a shorter segment within the original segment allowed me to 'participate' within Strava otherwise it can be quite lonely when trying to find segments around here :sad:

I must admit when I made a segment on a road near me that didn't have a segment I started it about tenth of a mile later than I would have normally to get it to start outside my privacy zone. :whistle:

Thrashed myself daft on a hill climb, but Strava claims I never went near it :sad:

Gah!
