Hey all,
I know that racing isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I wanted to pass along something that has been a lot of fun challenging people to set new PRs and virtually race against their friends and locals over the past month given there are no actual mass start events.
https://www.segmentcup.com/
Segment Cup (it's free to make one) allows someone to pick up to 10 segments on strava and have people compete on those segments. This competition is all solo efforts; so perfectly timed given the covid situation with regards to group riding.
We had A LOT of fun as a local cycling community during the first challenge, which lasted two weeks. https://www.segmentcup.com/cup/LittleRock1
As more people entered, it became a game to figure out which segments you thought you could improve on, and at the same time, overtake your nemesis to bring them down in the standings.
I challenge someone else out there to start a Segment Cup in their town. You'll be surprised at how much fun people have turning themselves inside out to beat their ridding buddies.
Ride on!
