Strava and the 100 climbs
Discussion
I love the 100 climbs challenge on Strava. I'm working on the Server region got 9 out of the 14 in the bag. The other 5 are quite a way from me so not sure how I'll get them, but I will.
What's good about it? It keeps changing - if you do a pb, you get points and climb the rankings but some of these hills are popular so your rank can drop minutes after you've done it.
And another thing that's good is somewhere like Boxhill which isn't a tough climb in itself you need to really really push yourself to get a good result. I did a pb today, took over 30 seconds off my time, but because hundreds of people go up it on a weekend I only went 20 something places up the rankings.

It's a club on Strava. You also need Veloviewer which tracks your efforts on the climbs and everyone else's. Will explain more later but on my mobile now so it's hard!
