Tuesday Night Ride: Vapiano Hill Challenge

Starting this Tuesday (May 15th) and continuing every 3rd Tuesday of each month through September,  Freshbikes & Vapiano will be hosting the Vapiano Hill Challenge.

Each month, two hills will be selected on the Rolling Hills Ride and announced prior to the start of the ride and on our website.  After the ride, one of the two hills will be selected as the KOM/QOM hill for that night.  The fastest man and woman on that hill during that ride, as determined by STRAVA.com, will be crowned King & Queen of the Mountain.  Vapiano will reward the royal couple with gift certificates and other cool swag.

As with all things in life, there are a couple of rules:

  1. All riders must have a STRAVA.com account, which is free.
  2. You must have a GPS enabled computer or smart phone from which data can be uploaded.  Your word or your friend’s word that you are the faster than Contador up the hill does not count.
  3. Only hill climbing which occurs during that particular FB ride counts and you must complete the entire ride.
  4. All data will be uploaded at the Vapiano happy hour immediately after the ride.  KOM/QOM titles and awarded will be given during the happy hour and you must be present to win.

If you engage in unsafe or reckless behavior during the ride, you will not be eligible for prizes.
