Report

50 riders took to Tunnel road which was a brand new climb for the Low Key series, but not a new climb for most climbers (second most popular climb in the Bay Area). With three scoring weeks counting this also served as the backdrop for some upsets and major points shake ups!

Congratulations to Robin Betz (Alto Velo) not only for the top Women's podium spot, but for the top score outright. Robin beat the Men's reference time by over a minute and half and set the record Women's score so far in the series! Congratulations also to Christina King (WEDU Norcal) and Jessica Karste (Pen Velo) on their podium spots. In the Men's competition, Maxime Cauchois (Alto Velo) narrowly beat out Yassine Yabouzi (WEDU Norcal) with Jeremy Besmer (Alto Velo) rounding out the podium. In the team competition, Alto Velo continued to dominate and were followed by WEDU Norcal and Pen Velo.

Additionally congrats to the following top scores this week:

Some notable changes in the overall competition came about this week! Robin Betz (Alto Velo) retains the top women's spot, but is now followed by Jessica Karste (Pen Velo) and Andrea Cherniak-Tyson (SJBC). The men's podium remains the same with Grant Miller (Alto Velo), Maxime Cauchois (Alto Velo) and Yassine Kabouzi (WEDU Norcal). Team competition also moved around and while Alto Velo and WEDU Norcal remain in first and second, Pen Velo has taken advantage of two strong weeks to move into third!

Next week we head to our first and only "multi-climb" of the series. Riders will follow the very popular east bay ride named "The Three Bears", also the home of the Berkeley hills road race, but will only have their time counted on the the climbs that represent each of those bears. Please carefully study the Strava segments! Papa bear is the longest, mamma is a bit shorter, and baby bear is a very short yet punchy 0.3km climb. While there is no need to rush between the bears as the time between does not count, you must keep moving, any rest in excess of one minute will lead to disqualification. Your best time for each bear will count if you ride it multiple times, but you must ride the entire course again. In other words, you cannot turn around and redo a singular bear without continuing on to finish the course. Good luck to everyone!
