MUCKERS 2026 JUNE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 4.

ROUTE AND RACE DETAILS:

Clonakilty | Rosscarbery | Ireland | 13.65 miles | 942 ft. elevation

ROUVY SAY: Starting in the town of Clonakilty we take the coast road and the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’ heading West through quiet villages and finishing at the town of Rosscarbery. Rolling hills and beautiful Irish countryside await.

WE SAY:13.6 miles? and only 942ft of elevation?? for a world championship race??? Yes, why not 🤷‍♂️😏. Sometimes we just get lucky with challenge routes and end dates that we just have to use these shorter races, so enjoy them while they are there as you know, these are not “typical” world championship routes. It was a great little race route though and i hope you had a good race!

60 riders set a time and kept to our rules and we even had a joint first on the main race, but as we always do, we use ROUVY’S leaderboard as the results order so that’s why Erlend gets the nod! But looking at the results below, it must have been a very close finish between a lot of you!

THIS MONTHS TOP 100 LEADERBOARD:

*Ballast added to this table

The Aim here is to get into the top 50 positions by the end of each 4 week period. If you do, you get World Championship points that are updated every month for the year.

Top 10 at the end of the Month get ballast added which is basically a percentage figure your points get deduced by and lasts for the whole of the year

We use your best 10 Months Out of 12 for the world championship.

WHATS NEXT TO COME:

Remember you are more than welcome to come and race with us on any of our races even if the championships are of no interest to you. The more the merrier!! These championships are just here as extra motivation and fun ways to train.

Sunday Hill Climb (aka the Sunday hill climb championship)

Tour de Suisse 2026 | Stage 1 – Sondrio | 29.05 miles | 3,176 ft. elevation.

Start in the vineyards and mountain roads around Teglio and ride west through the heart of the Valtellina valley. The route rolls along the Adda River, passes quiet villages, twisting hillside roads and historic wine-growing landscapes before finishing near Sondrio beneath the surrounding Alpine peaks.

This looks like a really nice Sunday Ride out this and not a long continuous slog! looking forward to this one.

Search “Muckers Sunday” in the event search function on ROUVY to find all the scheduled climbs we have created so far. All start times included in the championship.

Tuesday Race Night (aka the w/kg training championship)

Randazzo to Bronte | Sicily | 10 miles | 1,014 ft. elevation

Ride out from Randazzo onto quiet volcanic roads beneath Mount Etna, winding through lava fields, forests and remote Sicilian countryside. Rolling terrain and open mountain views give this route a wild and isolated feel deep in eastern Sicily.

The 3.0w/kg week!! We do this special 3.0 version on any moth that has 5 Tuesdays. We have chosen a challenge route that can “help” us get as close to it as possible as its a climb and a climb makes you stay on it all the time and not rest in the draft or a downhill. it does look like it ends on a downhill so be ready for that! Good luck!!

P.S. we have scheduled a warm-up race at 18:40 using the newly released 7 miler: Paris – The City of Love if you feel you need the warm up??

Search “Muckers Tuesday” in the event search function on ROUVY to find all the scheduled races we have created so far at the 6 different start times. All start times included in the championship

Thursday Race Night (aka the world championship)

Castelluzzo to Torre dell’Impiso | Sicily | 14.02 miles | 1,145 ft. elevation

Start inland near Castelluzzo and ride towards the cliffs and turquoise coastline of north-western Sicily. The route winds through San Vito Lo Capo, passes quiet coastal roads and finishes above the sea near Torre dell’Impiso, with sweeping Mediterranean views beside the Zingaro Nature Reserve.

THE TT RACE!!!! tricky challenge route to kick of Julys championship but its got some elevation this time so will it still be the TT bike? good news is it’s “short” and looking at the current leaderboard, the fast times will range from 30 mins to 45 mins so can we get in that bracket with no draft? Lets see…….

TO FINISH OFF:

Well done to Stefan793! I’m not sure if this is the first month you’ve won, but what a way to get the maximum 60 points in the bag! Considering you were running with 3% ballast as well, that’s a very strong month indeed. 2nd place goes to new to the championship Tim_Hall and it would be great to hear from the American rider in the comments, even just to let us know how he found us and if he’s enjoying!? Then in 3rd we have lrollin! This French rider always seems on the verge of having a rest from the Muckers Championship, then he smashes out a podium month! Well done Mucker and we will be watching to see if you win A2 next month!

I love doing this last blog of the Month! Even with the low numbers we have at the moment, it’s still good to see who got promoted and relegated in the Cats, especially in category A4 which had 26 riders in total in the leaderboard just for that category. Relegation for simonjp isn’t a bad thing, like we’ve said many a time, what’s the point in not having the chance for category bonus points each month by constantly finishing 5th/6th etc, you might as well drop a category and fight for those extra 10 points next month, then come back up again! Remember its all about getting the best 10 months scores out of 12 months for this years world championship, NOT what category you are in!

So all the above category ups and downs are auto promotions apart from 2. All the auto ones are done in conjunction with our rules stated further up the blog, but the other 2 are ones we feel need to/should be done down to good consistent racing, and just to see if these riders enjoy being out of the bottom 2 categories, especially as they also did enough this month to get into the top 50 overall placings in the GC. They only miss out on auto promotion due to lack of consistent competition so we feel a move up is move than deserved. So Good luck to Stelviobound and EatmorCake, we will be watching how you do next month.

World Championship GC and blog will be updated in the next few days and it also show the new ballast scores that have been applied to this months top 10. Keep an eye out for that!

Thanks as always for taking part this month, hope you enjoyed the 4 challenge route races , please jump into the comments if you can and thank you all for reading this to the very end, appreciate it.

Took me longer than most to get the road cycling bug but I was bitten around 5 years ago when I finally got a fully fledged road bike that fitted and I let the flat handled road bike go...

    bad start again due to strange lack of resistance glitch i get at the 3-2-1 part of the start, meant i was in the 40th places straight away as i got the bike up to speed. Shame as i wanted a rocket start today to get as much draft along the green bit to the climb.. but it didn’t happen so had to work with what i had. Luckily for me Andy_UP had a bad start and as he came past, i jumped on with him up to the climb. climbed at 3.1/3.2 and just caught stelvio at the top of it, in the hopes we could work together for the rest.

    A few times i had to back off to tease him to keep up…. then he’d power past me and i’d only just about jump on his wheel lol. but we soon figured out our way and we worked pretty good all the way to the last incline. I was in 2 minds about the end sprint, seeing how stelvio had these little burst in his locker so i went early on the last incline, hoping i could keep out the saddle all the way to the green section which i did and felt safe enough to relax on the downhill and just keep him out of reach.

    really enjoyable race after the crap start, and quite pleased with top 3 in A6 which i feel is “my category” and hope to stay 2nd or 3rd for the rest of the year lol (don’t want promoting to A5 again that’s for sure!!)

    That was a nice course to race. Got a good start and was in with the large lead group. I don’t know if the top guns were taking it easy the flat first 6 km, just waiting for the one climb and the rollers after to settle things, but that’s how it seemed. The climb broke the group up. I was doing low 4s and watching the leaders ride off. woll.d caught me, no way was I letting him get away from me. Together we caught Yumile, and from there to the end we battered each other, no one giving quarter. I tried an attack near the top of the last rise with a km to go, only got a 6 m gap. That didn’t work. Got in behind those two for the finish sprint, but when they went with 200 m to go I could keep up but not get ahead. That was a fun one!

  3. Paul bateman says:

    I was like a tractor this week. Found it really tough on that route. Im off to A5 though so might have to start swapping out the chips for rice lol. I probably need some of those red shells they have in mario kart racing the A5 bunch
