The leaderboard will be the total time over five segments, all of them are climbs. The first segment is Tunnel Road, which is the start of the course, so make sure you warm up properly beforehand. The last segment time, #5, will be multiplied by 3 as a bonus to those who are able to push to finish it fast after completing 4 hard climbs. For example, a rider who finishes segment #5 10 seconds faster than the next person will have a 20 second advantage. There are two female and male categories, under 50 and 50+. The top rider in each category will win an OmegaBykr t-shirt (see 'Store' at the top). You can ride the course as many times as you like over the next 6 weeks. Ride it solo or with a group, the whole point is to have fun! Keep an eye out in June for East Bay Challenge - Dirt Edition.
