A word about accuracy: as much as possible, we’ve used Zwift’s in-game numbers for the segments listed. Strava data may differ slightly.
Has this segment been removed? I don’t see it on Strava anymore. It didn’t show up when riding the Glasgow Crit circuit.
Never mind, I just noticed the note that Strava segment does not exist. I remember that it used to show up before.
It’s never shown up, because there’s never been one! You might by thinking of the reverse Clyde Kicker segment.
Pity this isn’t a Strava segment. As the sole guardian of Zwift Strava segments, is there really nothing you can do about it?
Strava doesn’t listen to him see https://zwiftinsider.com/4-strava-improvements/
It looks more like someone via Strava removed “The Clyde Kicker”, then recently re-added it. 🙁

.2. Here’s my ride from Mar 20, 2023, part of my “Glasgow Crit” history from Feb 2023 to Oct 2023. Why don’t my segments show the Clyde Kicker anymore?

If you read the above comments, Clyde Kicker was too short that strava didn’t allow creating a segment for it…until recently when strava relaxed that limit for virtual segments so Eric created a bunch of short segments like this one.
