![]() It’s fun to do and there’s great camaraderie between riders, though going for the overall win does take a lot of focus and effort. A club will nominate a segment, usually a climb, and members have to complete it within that month.īath bike shop Avon Valley Cycles organises one for instance, with an overall classification through the year of cumulative time with a big prize at the end, plus prizes for monthly segment winners, spot prizes and smaller ones for everyone beating the benchmark ‘lead-out’ time given at the announcement of the month’s segment. Segment competitions arose a couple of years ago and are a great way to add spice to your riding without racing and risking a pile-up. Join them and use them as motivation to ride more, then compare yourself on the leaderboards. This could be aiming to cover a Gran Fondo distance in one ride, climb a certain number of meters over the course of the month or just aim for the most miles cycled in a month.
