Are you going to tell him that he's wrong, and doesn't know a segment that he rides regularly, like you did with me??? I
I ride my segment example to and from the meeting point for my club ride. So know it extremely well. If you had seen the link shortly after I posted it, you would have seen that it was 21.3% and cat4. Not the 2.3% that it now shows.
What happens when you ride it the other way, how many negative gradient roads signs have you seen, Strava is just grading the slope be it up or down, and you was bullshitting, you just didnt read the given grade before you started posting rubbish on here!!!!!! As if Strava are goign to scan through loads of cycling forums looking for nonsense posts like yours in order to go and change the details on their site.
As I said before careful you dont get that on your shoes
I saw your earlier post nick, before it changed - so don't worry about comments like that. I saw it has changed from when you first posted it.
Oh - by the way - really hard of you sending me an abusive PM because I agreed with someone else.
If anyone else disagrees with Bruce be ready for an abusive PM!!! That seems to be his way!!0 -
The Strava algorithm for calculating the categories is rubbish. They explain it in a strangely convoluted way, but it is essentially based on the difference in elevation between that start and end. Anything less than 80m is uncategorised. This means that if someone creates a 200km segment starting at 20m and ending at 100m, then this is a Cat 4 climb. Equally a ramp of 200m long at 25% is not categorised at all.

I assume from your online bravery you have arranged to meet this other guy? or are you just a bad and being an complete idiot, and trying to curry favour with other people here, why not stand up for yourself?
YES
