I’ve added a new page to my website that gives a new look at Strava segments. I’m not too keen on the segment explorer on the Strava site. It doesn’t let me zoom in fully so I can’t find obscure segments that a slow coach like me might have a chance of gaining a KOM. It also only ever displays 10 segments at a time so I can’t get a good feel of what’s around.
My explorer fixes these issues. I have a load of ideas on how to improve it, so let me know if you find it useful and what you’d like to see.

Great! Any chance to explore on a Cycle map instead of a Gmap? Many thanks
I've added Google's cycling layer, if that's what you're after?
Great job! Is there any change you could upload the sourcecode on github or something similar?
Unfortunately there's quite a lot of dependencies between it and other code on my website but the basic idea is simple. Use the Strava segment explorer API to search in the required area, then cache that data for later searches, so as the user explores an area, the returned list of segments gets larger. The one big problem with the approach is that Strava's T&Cs explicitly forbid caching data for longer than 7 days
Alright, thank you!
