Big discrepency in distance/elevation within monthly challenges

Why am I seeing two very different cycling distance/elevation totals for this month? For example, the total in the 800K challenge is currently 691 km, but when I go down into the overall standings, I'm only shown with 611 km. Elevation challenges shows 6,114 m at the top, but then 5,121 m when I go down to my ranking. I have not entered any cycling events manually this month.

Do you have any of your rides marked as “private”?  According to the challenge rules (the fine print), anything you ride, public or private, will count towards your private progress and toward badges, but only activities marked as “public” will count towards your total in the leaderboards.

Thanks. I have my general settings as “public”, but am wondering if I somehow might have inadvertently changed a setting within one ride. Is there an indication on the the ride activity where I can see if that happened?
