Just discovered that Both Potsy and Fossyant have beaten my time on Brinksway, which is a small hill at the start of my commute. I was KOM for a short while.
The chances of me "Taking it easy" tomorrow in prep for my 1st track session this weekend are now quite small . . . and checking the forecast, there are going to be 30mph gusts

There are some great third party tools for messing about with your Strava data, here's my roundup article
http://www.scarletfire.co.uk/2012/06/turbo-charge-your-strava-data-with-these-third-party-api-tools/
some of these can be handy for sussing out which KOM's to go after.

The segment detailer is very goood. I've emailed for stravaviewer. What would be good is a a statistical distribution (1/10/25% etc) as well as culmulative places (number of 1sts/seconds etc).

I had huge tailwinds and thrashed myself silly on one segment this morning only for Strava not to aknowledge I was there, even although the map of the ride shows that I was

I've had this when I have been offroad (canal path). Zooming in on the route afterwards has shown that my Garmin sometimes thinks I am on an adjacent road - ending up with a zigzag path, rather than a line following the canal. Annoying.

Really weird you should say that I have a closed segement which is 100% my commute, it only has 20 odd on there mostly it just ignores it, that could be distance realted or probably more likely when the Garmin places me in the house next to the road. If it is the latter it just shows how often the Garmin is not accurate.

Hmm, I guess it could be because it was pissing it down so bad cloud cover for gps

Happens to me a lot too, including a short ride today where I know I passed through a segment, weird 
It would be useful if you could 'force' Strava to recognise a segment.
One thing I've found is that it is important to pick a ride which tracks the road well to select the segment. I did a segment for a ride I do regularly and it only picked up 2 or 3 rides. I deleted it and used one which tracked the road better and it picked up a lot more.
