There is now a website that automates strava segment challenges, so thought i'd give it a go over the winter and see how it goes and if it works will use it for the summer one. If it works as intended i will just need to set up the stages at the start and then dont need to do anything - it will automatically take the times from club members who ride the segment and then do the scoring.
There will be 5 stages between now and Feb 28th 2019
First stage is keep your booty rooted to the seat https://www.strava.com/segments/3356126
results and league table will appear here:

PS also the street where I broke my Colnago
Stevie, I have fitted your 49 ring to try, thanks for the loan - not going to make track league as missed midnight deadline Thursday, emailed to plead case 5.30am Friday morn, have not had a reply.
These KoM challenges threaten to corrupt my secret training program to win the sprints on the Georgetown next year. Can I suggest all the segments are left open all winter so I can win them when my periodisation cycle, wind direction and air density match in perfect alignment. Thanks.
I am currently working on long term mitochondria improvement.
