Strava Showdown

Fun showdown again this year. Mark and I really went back and forth on this one. I definitely set some power records along the way trying to chase his times! Already looking forward to next year ... please send me your suggestions for improvement. kartoone76@gmail.com

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS WEEK'S CLIMB

Wow, it appears my notes must have scared everyone off from last week's climb. I apologize for that, and this past week's climb won't count towards the overall. This week's is a much tamer climb.

The strava segment matches up as soon as you turn off of Rocky Ridge Rd onto Dolly Ridge Rd. The climb continues all the way up the hill past the traffic light over the next few rollers all the way past the intersection with St Joseph Road.

The light at Gresham is just for the school so unless you have really bad luck or go during school drop-off or pick-up times (approx 7:15-8:05 and 2:45-3:15), then the light will be green for you.

Overall results through Week 4

These are tabulated by calculating the sum of all your times. If you miss a week, then you are given the time of the slowest rider plus a 30 second penalty (with the exception of week 4, in which case you were assigned the same time as Brian Toone - the only rider to do the climb that week)
