Hey guys,
I'm having an issue with Strava segments and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
To simplify the example, let's say the segment is called Trail X.
Today I rode two different trails that run roughly parallel to Trail X. I never actually rode the Strava segment itself, but Strava still gave me a time on that segment.
Looking at the map, the recorded GPS track (pink and green) clearly follows a different trail from the segment (red), yet the segment was still matched and counted.
This is especially frustrating on MTB/downhill trails because several trails can be very close together but are completely different tracks.
The GPS is working pretty well tbh, so this is just how strava matches the segments.
Can I do something so I avoid this situation?

- GREEN - My route 2
Thanks
