Hello segment fans!

Apologies for the delay, but the Season 7 Final Report has been posted to the blog, take a look - congrats to all who came out!!

A final thank you to all who chipped in, hope you didn't regret it with the segments I came up with! 🤣🤣

And now for what you've all been waiting for..

Since it's the end of the season, that also means it's our final draw!

There are quite a few draw prizes, reminder here's the page for that, I've saved the best for last:

If you happen by any of the spots that support the series, be sure to let them know you appreciate them being a part of the Victoria Segment Challenge!

A quick reminder how the final draw works: everyone who participated in the final week gets their name in the draw, and everyone who podiums in the overall also gets their name in the draw (which can mean double the chance to win, but still max 1 prize.) (Side note: I've omitted my own name, and Dan B who was 4th has been added, since he's effectively 3rd.)

Below are three 'batches', by my count there were about 28 prizes remaining, and the number actually works out perfectly with the names in the draw!

I'll email the first batch tomorrow. As always, awarded in order of reply gets their first prize request (hopefully!), please watch for that tomorrow! The next batch will be emailed after the previous ones are all sorted (so don't delay when you get the email!)

One last reminder about our brand new series for May:

Sign-up is live, we've got over 40 people signed up already, and it's great to see the categories fill up!

Don't forget there team/club scoring, so if you want to represent a team, enter that name, and I'm encouraging riders to team up with friends, and just make up a fun name!

ALSO - Season 8, the Summer Segment Challenge will once again be a Rider's Choice - so you can submit segment ideas, and I'll curate the season around those. The form is live on the main event page, look for the button near the top. (Regular sign-up will open in a few weeks.)

It's been another fantastic season, and looking forward to how the Climb series plays out!! 😆
