I'd encourage everyone to check it out, and join us!
It's mainly a fun event, you can ride laps with friends and make it a social event, or if you've got the race season coming up, it's a good chance to test the legs and push the pace!
Gravel or MTBs!
Laps are ridden for 1hr, and at the end, we all gather and try to spell the best word we can, and most points wins!!
The course is a loop in Francis-King - we actually rode a lap in the previous season of the Segment Challenge GRAVEL EDITION. It's got some light technical features, including a tricky corner, and there's really only one spot with a bit of mud (too catchy not to use the theme tho!)
More info and registration are live on the site: https://abouttheride.ca/scrabblethon/
Also Coming Up
For those who ride road, or have slicker gravel tires, the Victoria Segment Challenge will start up in March as well! It's got a similar spirit to the GravelQuest, with two road segments posted each week, often in neat areas, but this one is competitive, and scored by times.
But fear not, we've got A, B & C categories, and of course Open and Female groups as well. And I imagine we'll have our regular HUGE assortment of draw prizes! |
