Speaking of segments, this is what we have to deal with out here in California:
Strava Segment | Beach to Newland Sprint
I'm
1067 / 6412
ONE THOUSAND! And that was an average speed of 24.3 mph for not quite a half mile. The people on top of that list covered it at over 40 mph, which is probably believable with even a semi-decent tail wind.
6412 people have ridden that segment. Good grief.
