What a disappointment to find out I actually rode “Mountain 8 from Start Pier”, and not “Mountain 8” which is in the veloviewer leaderboard.
Isn’t it possible to adjust the segment for the leaderboard to avoid this? I believe it has been done for other routes as well, like the four horsemen.

After I made the turn up towards the tower, I noticed my my “route distance traveled” bar at the top of the screen disappeared about half-way to the tower. Does that usually happen on this route? Unfortunately, I ended the ride at that point since I had to head to work.

Two questions: 1) when I ride the route again, should I just keep going even though the bar disappears (if it does again) and 2) if you skip the “bonus climb” do you still get the route badge if you complete the rest? Thanks.
