Here's a new challenge...

We're using a bit of technology (Strava) to help us make some interesting informal challenges that we'll run for a month periodically.

The first of these is a Climbing Challenge that runs throughout November.  Have a look at the details below...

The results will be published on this page and new monthly challenges issued.
