The Rules: - Complete all 5 segments at least once, in any order, any time in July (they have to be on Strava)
- 2 Individual Segments and 3 group segments you can ride with others
- The “no drafting” rule still applies for the Prologue and other individual segments. These are true TTs.
- Each rider’s time will be totaled for all 5 stages (using their fastest time for each Strava segment during the month of July). The winning team will have the lowest combined time for all team members
- If a rider doesn’t complete a segment, they will be assigned a TBD time penalty which will be factored into the total team time (as an example, the time penalty for skipping the Prologue might be 15 minutes)
- Be safe, have fun, and cheer on your fellow riders!
- Must use Strava for your time to count
