"Most DD hills ridden in a day: 66 times up/down Canton Ave. in 2 hours in a 42x24 {1.75} gear in 1985 by Danny Chew."

How are points allocated? I assume that if you can't get up a hill without dismounting, you get 0. But what's the difference between 10, 9, 8, etc.?

I'd love to do this, but I have watched some youtube videos and I am not sure I'd make it up some of those climbs.

Points are for the fast group, based on your placing racing up the hills 10 for first down to 1 for 10th, everyone else is just trying to get up to be an official finisher.

Danny Chew's story is both gut wrenching and awe inspiring.

Great thanks, doing a local test ride this week to see if I am up for it.
