IS THIS A RACE?
Everything in life is a race! But this race is a little bit different:
THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IN THIS RACE SERIES IS YOUR TIME ON THE TIMED KQOM SEGMENT(s) VERSUS OTHER RIDERS IN YOUR CATEGORY. Feel free to take it easy for the rest of the ride and get in a good warmup + a nice cooldown.
Be sure to finish the event route, crossing the blue custom finish banner, or your hill time will not count.

Draft + Powerups are both disabled, so it is just you against the following hills (start times listed below are very much approximate based on cursory YouTube race stream research…best to verify + stay alert out there!).

Times are ranked across all races each Weekend and go toward an overall cumulative climbing time for GC purposes.

WHERE ARE THE RESULTS?
Individual race results for KOM times can be found on ZwiftPower; just search for Herd Climbers Gambit and find the race time in which you competed.

I WANT TO RACE AT DIFFERENT TIMES!
ME TOO! Luckily there are multiple time slots to choose from each weekend, and it doesn't matter if you don't do the same time slot each time. You can also race multiple times each weekend and your best result will count towards the overall GC.

I CAN'T MAKE IT TO EVERY RACE!
Well, cancel those costume party plans because to compete for this digital trophy you’re going to have to complete all stages and compile hill times towards the overall GC.
