I would like it if Strava, or someone else, did the following:

1. Associate each GPS data point with a short (say, 10 meters) segment.

2. Collect metadata on each segment. eg incline, weather history, is it a segment of an organized race, etc.

3. Combine segments into proposed routes that match a user’s search criteria.

You can search for yearly/weekly events.

That’s a neat experiment, but not really what I’m thinking of. I want to solve two problems:

1. Find a route that matches a search like “20 mile trail run, with moderate hills, and at least 3 water fountains.”

2. See interesting information about segments of the route, such as “mile 8.7 is the highest point of the End Cancer 50 mile race.”

That said, thanks for the pointer, I hadn’t seen that before.
