Today, strava goofed...Strava identified a segment incorectly and therefore gave me both a personal best and 4th overall even though I only did 2/3 of the figure 8. I couldn't figure out how to flag it.

Anyone know if this is doable?

One of the Strava support members chimed in on it.

Neela: you can "flag" your ride or segment is Strava and let them know the segment matching was not correct. They are working on improving it and may appreciate another test case. It might be an idea if they could give the rider an option to remove their ride (or request other rides to be removed) from a segment, when they notice it doesn't match correctly.
On the other hand: KOM lists on loops in Fremont Older should be banned or at least ignored. People should ride within the speed limit there and be very careful around blind turns. We don't want to turn it into a race circuit.

Done. On the Fremont Older stats, I see what you mean. Frankly I can't imagine ever coming close to those brothers who did the figure 8 in 20 minutes.

Thanks for the heads up

Yes indeed - that is a false positive.

I removed that match from your ride - so, sorry, but your KOM is gone

We're working on the matching algoritm to reduce false positives like this one.

Looks like an awesome place to ride!

The only anomalies I have noticed are that the past three rides I have uploaded show up greyed out when I am not logged in:

They do show up just fine when I am logged in though. Is this some new feature I haven't been alerted to?
