Strava Competition 2020: SUSPENDED

** IMPORTANT **

Unfortunately, as from Thursday 18 June 2020, we have had to suspend the Strava Challenge. This is due to emerging information that British Cycling insurance - both for clubs and for individuals - is voided by promotion or participation in such an event. This includes individuals holding BC race-level insurance, which is only valid for BC-authorised events.

The VCGH team are currently looking into whether alternative ways of insuring the challenge can be found, to enable us to reinstate the challenge.

In the meantime, the Club cannot support any Strava Challenge attempts by club members.

I appreciate not everyone was taking part in the segment challenge so please email me if you wish to be removed from GC.

          COMPETITION RULES:

1. You will need to be a paid up member of the club and have a personal Strava Account. You can then request to join the VCGH Strava Club which will entitle you to be a participant of the challenge.
2. You have until midnight on the last day of each month to complete the month's segment and you can attempt it as many times as you like - only your fastest time will qualify. No late entries or exemptions. However, if there are unforeseen obstructions on the segment (e.g. roadworks), the management reserves the right to make adjustments as they see fit.
3. If you do not complete a segment by midnight on the last day of the month, a time will be awarded to you which is 1 second slower than the slowest time in your category for that month.
4. As well as fastest male and female categories (awarded to the riders with the fastest cumulative time for all 12 segments), there may be other awards. Therefore, if you haven't got a hope of beating our fastest riders, or if you join VCGH or the challenge part way through the year, you may still be eligible for prizes! Hooray! May I point out that it's the taking part that counts! ...
5. July's segment will be the G10/45 TT circuit. Entering the VCGH Club TT on 11 July, or volunteering at the event will qualify you for a deduction from your overall time.
6. October's segment will be the GH44 Staple Lane hill climb. Entering the VCGH Open Hillclimb event on 17 October, or volunteering to help at the event will qualify you for a deduction from your overall time.
7. Any human-powered bicycle can be used to set a time. eBikes and other motorised vehicles are not allowed. Whether or not you use aero equipment (other than on the July or October segments where aero equipment is welcomed), or complete the segment riding on the wheel of a faster rider is down to you and your conscience.
8. Please, above all, stay safe.
