Ontario Cycling is partnering with MONTU Bikes to elevate your Ontario Cup (OCup) race day experience by setting up the MONTU OCup Segment Challenge on Strava. The challenge will be a virtual series within the Ontario Cycling OCup series in each discipline.
What to expect on race day?
Have your Strava account set up and join the Ontario Cycling community. Bring your GPS device on race day to record your ride. During the ride watch out for the MONTU OCup Segment Challenge flags or signs marking the Start and Finish of the segment on each course. The segment’s distance will vary (300m and 800m) and focus on different skills. Upload your ride to Strava by the Tuesday after the event to be automatically entered into the MONTU OCup Segment Challenge. Only completed and recorded segments on race day will be counted!
How to upload your activity to Strava
Use the Strava app to “Record” and “Save” your ride, which automatically uploads your activity. Check out the Getting Started Guide. If you already have a dedicated GPS device or use a different fitness platform, you can sync your activities to your Strava account. Find out what devices and services Strava supports here.
The virtual series
Take part in the full OCup series and compete for a chance to win all segments. The fastest ten male and female riders in this designated MONTU OCup Segment Challenge section of each race will collect points that will accumulate throughout the OCup Series races. Each discipline’s highest-ranked male and female will receive a MONTU OCup Segment Challenge winner jersey and bragging rights for the year.
NOTE: Unlike race results, the MONTU OCup Segment Challenge is based on overall Male & Female results and not separated by age categories.
The virtual series will award points for each segment as follows:
