Most of the Strava segments in Nockamixon are my work. After seeing the awful mess that is segments in Wissahickon, I decided to create what I thought were the key segments for Nockamixon and hopefully that would prevent everyone and their mom creating new, conflicting segments. The only problem is sometimes I have trouble keeping track of all of them! Plus, there are a couple good segments that were created by other folks. Just creating this post so that I have a list of all the Nox segments, and can refer to it if I need.
Full Lap Segments:
Nox Full Loop (S/F at Tower Rd trail split) (http://app.strava.com/segments/2214794)
Originally, someone else created "Full Nox Loop" and it was good, except Strava's segment matching is kinda crappy, and if you left out the Hammer trail, you'd get a match, which is why Bob Eichlin isn't the KOM. Someone else created Nox short loop CCW which cuts off the Hammer trail, but this doesn't fix the Strava matching problem, and so still matches both types of laps. Someone else created Nox Full loop S/F at lot entrance tower rd sign, but that one starts at the trailhead of the lot. I'm not a fan of that, since there is a bunch of two-way traffic on this part, and as such I prefer to roll in on that bit of trail easy, and then get going once I hit the trail split about 1/4 mile from the parking lot. One thing that would be nice to add is a segment that matches if folks start at the 563 entrance, but since I don't do that, I probably won't bother.
North segments:
The north section of the park includes the Cold Spot and Hammer trails.
Cold Spot CCW (http://app.strava.com/segments/1079674)
Cold Spot CW (http://app.strava.com/segments/1172770)
Hammer CCW (http://app.strava.com/segments/1079793)
Hammer CW (http://app.strava.com/segments/1292643)
Cold Spot and Hammer CCW (http://app.strava.com/segments/1172780)
needed - Cold Spot and Hammer CW ( )
Central segments:
Since these two loops (Haycock Run and EWR) are rarely ridden as loops, I split them into upper and lower segments to improve matches.
Haycock Run uphill (http://app.strava.com/segments/1267108)
Haycock Run downhill (http://app.strava.com/segments/2200638)
Haycock Lower SB (http://app.strava.com/segments/2118401)
Haycock Lower NB (http://app.strava.com/segments/2119306)
EWR lower (connector) NB (http://app.strava.com/segments/1079884)
EWR lower (connector) SB (http://app.strava.com/segments/1079866)
EWR upper NB (http://app.strava.com/segments/1204480)
EWR upper SB (http://app.strava.com/segments/1247461)
South segments:
Since this is a loop that starts and finishes in close to the same
area, it matches in either direction, so there's no point for CW and
CCW segments.
Jaywalk and South Park: (http://app.strava.com/segments/1181277)
These two are little mini-segments starting from South Park Rd and climbing away in each direction.
