WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN?
Join Herd Racing as we present a very special experimental season (aka If It Ain’t Broke Edition) of our ever-popular Climbers Gambit hill climb series!

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 KOM SEGEMENT 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 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 Weeknd and go toward an overall cumulative climbing time for GC purposes.

• Please note that this is very much a 4-week experiment and I do expect things to break and/or potentially change with regard to events, particularly when we get to Weeknds 3 + 4 (see below).

I WANT TO RACE AT DIFFERENT TIMES!
Okay calm down…there are multiple time slots to choose from each weekend! It doesn't matter if you don't do the same time slot each time. But you can 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 summer picnics because in order to compete for this digital trophy you’re going to have to complete all four stages and compile hill times towards the overall GC.
