CCA Zwift Hill Climb Club Champs - Sunday 7th November @ 9:30 or later!
No need to brave the elements for this one... let The Hill come to you!!
The CCA Zwift Hill Climb Champs will be a little different this year, mixing it up from the strategic race battle and final sprint of last year, it will be a simple battle against the clock.
The Zwift route will be 'Whole Lotta Lava', a 12.3km route up and down the Volcano. However, the qualifying section of the course will be the 'Volcano KOM' Strava segment, swirling up the side of this most exotic of mountains!
The Volcano KOM is a 3.2km climb, ascending 120m with an average gradient of 3.2%. There will be a 4km neutralised lead-in around the base of the volcano before the climb kicks up.
The ride will be an organised Zwift group ride WITHOUT an elastic band. You MUST ride a TT bike to avoid drafting... This is you against the clock , although we will cross the KOM start line as a bunch, so you can 'try' to follow others up!
** Fastest time for the Volcano KOM segment on Strava wins **
In order to enter, add your name below and follow me on Zwift and on Strava. I will then invite you to the 9:30 group ride a few days before.
WHOOAH, HOLD IT, I can't make 9:30 on the 7th... Fear not, you have until 20:00 on the 7th to ride and register your KOM time. Just add 'Solo' next to your name below and I will record your registered times from Strava. You must still select and ride a TT bike... no sneaky drafting please!

No need to ride as a bunch at 9:30, just set off when you are ready and ride round to the bottom of the KOM before launching your effort.
Note: it is 6.1km from start of the course to start of the KOM segment, not 4km as mentioned above.
