I do not appear on segment leaderboards, even though I set the 'Participate in Leaderboards' to Yes. This is presumably because I set the privacy for activities to 'My connections' and not 'Everyone'.
I don't set privacy to Everyone because the gps track leads to/from my front door. With Strava you can set privacy zones, so you can participate in segment leaderboards, but the displayed gps track finishes a few 100 metres from your house.
Over time I might have moved from Strava to GC segment tracking just because it was convenient, but I won't if I have to make my full gps track public to everyone. Unless anyone has a work around for this?
