Strava has an impact on me now. I do know two segments well and spend considerable effort to be fast.

I do not about that segment that it starts too early and ends too late. Both ends include spots where different bike and foot paths intersect. This makes times depend very much on whether it is a busy time.

Yeah - so the stravaholic will come through at 2 AM when its dead silent. Maybe even on the road which is just beside the path.
