Woohoo, bagged my first ever KOM 
Admittedly, only 3 other people have ridden it and it's no mountain. But it is a 5 mile segment on the windy fens.

It is the average segment position score from your top 25% (max 100) of non-downhill segment. More detail:
Position score - Each of your completed segments comes with a score, between 0 and 100, that represents your relative position based on the number of other athletes that have also ridden the segment. The higher the score the better!
Why not use placing? - Being 1st of 2 athletes isn't the same value as being 1st of 1,000. Equally being last of 2 athletes isn't anywhere near as bad as last of 1,000. The position score reflects how you stack up against others much better than your actual placing.
25% - Only your top 25% of scores (to a maximum of 100) are taken into consideration as I'm guessing you haven't visited the pain cave for the majority of your segments so we only want to include those where you have.
But we've got local pro's taking the top spots - Seeing as the score isn't based on actual positions then this should well balance out as if the area is good enough for lots of pro's to ride there, chances are there are a lot more non-pro riders too so giving the potential for higher relative scores.
But I'm an awesome downhiller! - I feel your pain but to comply with STRAVA API usage rules, flat or uphill only.

A five mile segment is pretty good going, regardless of how many people have ridden it. Well done 
Quick question.
I'm heading to the US over the summer and want to record some rides/runs over there on Strava using my Android phone.
Presumably I can just turn data off, record the rides on GPS, then upload if/when I have wifi access or when I get back to the UK?
Has anyone used Strava overseas recently?

Why not try it over here? Just switch off your data here...I'm heading to the US over the summer and want to record some rides/runs over there on Strava using my Android phone.

Might be worth a trial run to make sure you can stack un-uploaded runs on your phone until you get network access. It would be annoying if it kept overwriting your stored rides with the latest! I see no reason why it should do that, but better to be sure.
See if Wahoo Fitness App works on your phone. I regular off Data to conserve battery as I run a HR and Cadence/Speed Bluetooth at the same time. The App works fine and also lists out all your runs which you can then upload individually (to Strava and virtually every other variant).Just to redress the balance a little...

I'm kind of surprised some weren't automatically generated on some of those hills...45 miles and not a single segment:
