Check out this ongoing climbing competition called the
KOM Challenge (
http://www.komchallenge.com). Monthly winners/prizes for individual, club and bike shop categories The January men's winner put up 175,000 freakin' feet. You gotta have a GPS device , and the tracking is done at Strava.com (
http://www.Strava.com). The prizes are from Strava and Studio Velo (
http://www.studiovelocycling.com). I rode my butt off and bagged 59K, good enough to be my club leader and bragging rights but definitely out of the prize circle.
