The format is simple.

The Leaderboards

Each leaderboard contains a selection of Strava segments that you need to ride within a certain time period to earn points. Sometimes an overall (yellow jersey) leaderboard will consist of separate King of the Mountains, Sprint, and Time Trial leaderboards to cater for all types of cyclists.

Your Results

Cafe Legs uses your Strava data to populate the leaderboards. Your results only update when you choose for them to do so using the ‘Update’ button located on each of the overall leaderboard pages.

Leaderboard Open Period

Each leaderboard is open for a defined period, and usually long enough for you to have a good few attempts at each segment. Do not worry if you join the leaderboard after the start date, Cafe Legs pulls all your segment data for the complete open period.

Points

You earn 10 points for every segment you attempt. You earn up to an additional 90 points depending on your rank for that particular segment. 1st place receives the full 90 additional points, last place receives no additional points. Points are distributed evenly from 0 to 90 between the number of riders who have undertaken the segment.

Rules

Less is more. This is supposed to be a bit of fun so we don’t police the segment attempts or have specific rules. The segments are supposed to be ridden as individual attempts and in most cases ‘group rides’ will not achieve a better individual result anyway due to the specifically chosen segments. TT bikes can be used for the specific TT segments, but no others. This is self policing, you’re only cheating yourself and denying success of those that aren’t bending the rules. Of course, if we are notified of anything extraordinary or suspicious we’ll investigate and deal with on a case by case basis.
