At the end of last year I went through a load of our local climbs and saw which of us had got the best times up them (see here and here ). I suggested we had a competition this year. I was hoping to find a way of getting a scoring system and tables that automatically update, but that proved impossible.
So what I've done (albeit nine months into the season!) is narrow the climbs down to a cluster of the more difficult ones that are nearly all in Epping Forest (apart from Banks Lane, but we ride that regularly) and then set a 'standard' time for the climb. The idea is that this is a reasonably fast, but not crazily fast, time to do the climb in. Anyone who beats it gets points (or seconds) for the amount of time they go 'under par'. If you haven't climbed it at all, or if you've climbed it too slowly, you get no points.
The winner will be the person who has got the most points (or seconds) when you add it up across the seven climbs.
At the moment that's me, but that's partly because some 'rivals' haven't scored points on all of the climbs yet. We've still got the best part of three months for people to set some times and change the scoreboard.
Here are the details: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wgvGFBNhJmUqOAQdtkKqyN8AV80haYr852OC6dGlxQc/edit#gid=0
Let me know if you think you should be on it and your name's not there.
