Yeah, though most of my "private" segments have been ridden by me with friends of mine or others in my local neighborhood, and it's nice to see those results up. It's actually surprising to me that some segments that one might have considered small, out of hte way, low-traffic places end up getting 30 or 40 people after a while.
