It works out how many cakes you have eaten based on how slow you went up the hill

"Strava detects devices with barometric altimeters and recognizes the data from that source. Since elevation data derived from a GPS signal is fairly inaccurate, Strava automatically corrects elevation derived from a GPS source by consulting elevation databases to determine the elevation at each point in the activity. "

thanks for this. . It was starting to annoy me not knowing the reason for the dramatic change in elevation (climb) showing on the bike computer and the final figure on Strava after the upload . .

I guess it shows just how inaccurate the GPS is !!!
