Puncheur’s points race with punchy climb (and sprint) segments and custom punchy climb finish. 150 FIN points. 50 FTS points per punchy climb, double FTS for repeat climb, triple FTS for 3rd climb. And 50 FTS points for each sprint, best time counts.

*** REVISED FORMAT ***
More FIN points, now 25-33% of total points depending on route, equal to triple FTS points.
Shorter routes, each with a 3x repeat of a punchy climb segment, before a custom punchy finish.

This is a variation of OTR’s usual Snap Crackle Pop events, which have traditionally been based on segment times not points. Still the same punchy climbs and same opportunity to work together for the best segment times, SCP style, in a new fun points race format that includes both FTS and FIN points. SCP group ride format is still on Sundays.

All categories start in a single pen and see riders of all categories.
Default drafting, no power ups, no steering, no TT bikes.
Riders need to join ZwiftPower to see race results in points.
