Segments
Click a segment for its leaderboard, elevation profile, and map. Sort by any column.
Methodology
Each segment earns a difficulty score, which sorts it into a category; the category awards Tour-de-France-style KOM points by finishing place, and how popular the segment is sets how many places score.
1 · Difficulty.
difficulty = (climbm + ½·descentm + 8·km + 20·log₁₀ efforts) × terrain × prestige
Climbing, half-weighted descent, and length all add, plus a popularity bonus. Terrain scales it (climb ×1.0, flat ×0.85, descent ×0.65) and prestige discounts rarely-ridden segments (below).
2 · Category & points. Difficulty sorts each segment into a category — the single hardest is the Cima Coppi; then Cat 1 (difficulty 250+), Cat 2 (150+), Cat 3 (90+), Cat 4 (under 90). Cat 1 is reserved for the big hard climbs. Each category pays these points by finishing place:
| Category | 1st | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cima Coppi | 50 | 30 | 20 | 14 | 10 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
| Cat 1 | 40 | 18 | 12 | 9 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 | — |
| Cat 2 | 18 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 | — | — | — |
| Cat 3 | 9 | 4 | 2 | 1 | — | — | — | — | — |
| Cat 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | — | — | — | — | — | — |
3 · Prestige & depth both come from a segment's total efforts on Strava — prestige discounts the obscure (capped at 1.0, never an inflation), and depth limits how many of the category's places actually pay out:
| Efforts on the segment | Prestige | Places paid |
|---|---|---|
| 3,000+ | 1.0 | 9 |
| 1,000 – 2,999 | 1.0 | 8 |
| 250 – 999 | 0.9 | 6 |
| 50 – 249 | 0.6 | 3 |
| under 50 | 0.3 | 1 |
On curation. Prestige keeps an accidental segment — a long one almost nobody has ridden — from scoring big just for being long. It is not full anti-gaming: you could craft a segment to farm points (a private-ish commute that happens to end in town, say), so the segment list is hand-curated — only real, shared local segments are tracked.
[1] Sub-segments. Many roads here have a shorter Strava segment nested inside a longer one — same road, same direction (e.g. Cancer is the middle of Lake Wyola to Shutesbury). We detect these by comparing GPS tracks (a contiguous, same-direction overlap; a climb vs. its reverse descent is not a sub-segment) and mark them ↳ section of …. By default they score on their own — Strava treats each as a separate KOM — but switching the sub segments toggle up top to off removes them everywhere at once (table, map, and the points) for a de-duplicated view.
An athlete's overall standing is the sum across every segment; the discipline filter rescores for road, gravel, or MTB alone.
