To be eligible to win, a rider and/or a team must complete the entire course appropriately. (No short cuts) and there must be no dispute from the Hill monitors regarding rider or team conduct on the course. (Riders must at all times consider safety and courtesy on the course)
The team competition is open to any team of 6 or more riders. The challenge is significantly into the ride, and to participate and be eligible riders must complete entire 160K route (please note the challenge is not on the other three courses) correctly prior to the Hill. (i.e., you can’t put your bike in a car drive to the hill and ascend). For the team competition the winner will be determined by the average time of the six riders. This average will be assigned as the team’s performance.
Please remember: The purpose of the Heartbreak Hill Challenge is simply to provide interest and a challenge for some of the teams and individuals who wish to participate. We strongly emphasize that the purpose of the ride is to have fun, raise some money for United Way and enjoy riding. It is all in fun. No one should cheat, dope, or knock down a rider so as to move up in the challenge. Indeed, such conduct would disqualify a rider or team.
