EVENT RULES
This event has the following requirements:
EVENT DESCRIPTION
WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN?
Join the Herd Racing weirdos as we present a very special Summer Rendezvous Edition of our ever-popular Climbers Gambit hill climb series this July!
IS THIS A RACE?
Everything in life is a race! But this race is a little bit different:
THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IN THIS RACE SERIES IS YOUR TIME ON THE TIMED KOM SEGMENT(s) VERSUS OTHER RIDERS IN YOUR CATEGORY. Feel free to take it easy for the rest of the ride and get in a good warmup + a nice cooldown.
Be sure to finish the event route, crossing the blue custom finish banner, or your hill time will not count.
Draft + Powerups are both disabled, so it is just you against the following hills (start times listed below are very much approximate based on cursory YouTube race stream research…best to verify + stay alert out there!).
Times are ranked across all races each Weeknd and go toward an overall cumulative climbing time for GC purposes.
Please note that, although we were largely successful in previous seasons, Timing + Scoring on ZwiftPower can sometimes be unreliable with this format. Please be patient if things look a bit off. Worst case you’ll all get a refund of your race entry fees.
WHAT HILLS SHALL WE CLIMB?
We will be taking on the Rooftop KQOM exclusively during this series via lap(s) of Rooftop Rendezvous course:
Weeknd 1 (June 1/2 ): Rooftop KQOM (one lap, one ascent)
Weeknd 2 (June 8/9): Rooftop KQOM (two laps, two ascents, COMBINED time)
Weeknd 3 (June 15/16): Rooftop KQOM (three laps, three ascents, SLOWEST time counts)
Weeknd 4 (June 22/23): Rooftop KQOM (four laps, four ascents, SLOWEST time counts)
WHERE ARE THE RESULTS?
Individual race results for KOM times can be found on ZwiftPower; just search for Herd Climbers Gambit and find the race time in which you competed.

I WANT TO RACE AT DIFFERENT TIMES!
ME TOO! Luckily there are multiple time slots to choose from each weekend, and it doesn't matter if you don't do the same time slot each time. You can also race multiple times each weekend and your best result will count towards the overall GC.
I CAN'T MAKE IT TO EVERY RACE!
Well, cancel those backyard BBQ plans because to compete for this digital trophy you’re going to have to complete all stages and compile hill times towards the overall GC.
FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK! WE’RE REALLY FRIENDLY + FUN…PROMISE! IF SOMEONE IS NOT FRIENDLY TO YOU LET ME KNOW AND I WILL PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE.
