Silly STRAVA Racing

[on the road]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I seen this was rated as a category 4 climb, anyone who's been this way will say "what climb?".

Lowest elevation -262ft???

I rode up a cat 3 yesterday that's barely uphill; turned out the data behind the segment reckoned it was more than 500ft below sea level at the start. It had already been flagged as "hazardous", but there doesn't seem to be a way to just flag it as "faulty".

Strava will automatically create climbs if they are a cat climb. However, some segments are only cat climbs because of a GPS error from a device. This is one of them, flag it.

Knocked 2m 30s off my PB up Froggatt, Derbyshire yesterday... however this was overshadowed by my fall later on in the ride. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but if someone takes a KOM and blatantly did it in car, is there any way of getting this removed from the segment leaderboard?

Flag the ride.

You can flag the ride and it asks for your reason for doing so. Not sure what happens after that to be honest. Maybe someone else will advise.

Flag the ride.

Thanks, I know that it can be flagged but when I select that it says that the segment will be 'flagged as hazardous' but it ain't, I just want to get the nonsense time off the KOM and keep the segment. The segment I have in mind is http://www.strava.com/segments/4662879. Should I still flag it?

Looking at the rest of the guy's ride it looks perfectly normal. I think it is more likely to be a glitch in his garmin rather than in a vehicle?

Another KOM! http://app.strava.com/activities/73128961#1441984242
Created the segment just now because I was chasing a bin lorry down there so knew I would get a good time.
