The Pain Train Team are proud to announce this year’s
competitive time trial series:
Paintrain’s Insane Segment Series
The Paintrain’s Insane Segment Series (hereafter formally
referred to as PISS) is a competition for all Pain Train members.
A variety of Strava Segments have been selected for multiple
disciplines… everything from short sprints to long climbs, loops and ‘out and
backs’.
Each member will have the opportunity to compete on each of the
segments throughout the year (time and date of their choosing). Their best time
during the calendar year will account towards the overall rankings.
The fastest member on each segment will be awarded 100 points.
The first loser (2nd) will be awarded 98… 3rd will get 97
etc.
There are 12 segments in the series. The points from the best 9 will account towards the overall rankings.
There are some very simple rules:
No time trail bikes
No aero/tri bars
Your Mrs is not allowed to complete the segment for you
No electric/motorised bikes
No group efforts, chaingaings or leadouts.
No group efforts, chaingaings or leadouts.
You can use hurricane conditions to assist
Other than aero/tri bars you can use any additional aero
equipment/practices such as:
Aero helmet
Skin suits
Overshoes
Nipple tape
Aero gloves
Shaven pins
There will be an additional point for anyone completing the
whole series.
There will also be an additional point for anyone completing the
whole series in 1 ride. Those that complete this challenge will be given the
title of “Paintrain’s Really Intense Course Knighthood”.
These individuals will hereafter be formally acknowledged as PRICK’s.
If you want to know how you rank on individual segments, select
‘this year’ as the date parameter and ‘Pain Train’ as the club on the Strava
Segment Leaderboard.
I will be updating the below table as the series goes on
(hopefully once a week if time permits).
