congratulations!

 followed by Roswitha Hense-Simenko who won the last segment.

what a finish!

 

with an outstanding and dominating performance Richard Aßmair ♠️ won the men's race with 6 KOMs!

we are excited, especially because his efforts looked so elegant and easy!

he was beaten only once by his closest rival and friend Martin Moser who managed one KOM and five 2nd places. 

which made his 2nd place overall safe and impressive.

 Jakob Kneidinger finished five segments as 3rd and one on place 2.

in the end a powerful 3rd!

special kudos to Florian Büchele, Gernot Saubart, and HoKo NSR who did all seven hills in one ride! 

same to Tom L who also finished all hills in a prologue on oct 21!

you are great sportsmen!

hill race? days? yes!

 

to be precise: a series of individual time trials against the strava segment clock.

and other individual hill climbers.

 

as we have selected 7 glorious little hills in and around graz for this little contest,

 it's gonna be a kind of cycling heptathlon.

 

to be accomplished within 4 days.

or to be precise again: within 71 hours.

starting an thursday october 21, 4 PM.

kumberg ost / closing session

 

in total: 701 metres of ascent!

(the previously announced 1.200m were based on an older segment list when we were a bit too ambitious! ;)  THX thomas p. for your attention!
