    Someone made one from Birr to Mizen Head (284kms)

    The problem with some of the longer segments is that they are not 'proper' segments. For example, a rider will do the Ring of Kerry, Tour of Meath etc. and make the whole ride into a segment.

    someone forget to turn off the strava on a plane or some kind of extreme triathlon?

    People use it to track the flights they are on. I saw someone was flying all over Africa and recording it via Strava. Maybe the people involved are seeing who does the most Air Miles.

    Lads - they are simply 'activities' on Strava. The OP was asking about longest Irish segments - not longest rides/activities/flights etc.
