MUCKERS 2026 AUGUST CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 4.
ROUTE AND RACE DETAILS:
Whitefish | Great Divide | Montana | 16.8 miles | 574 ft. elevation
ROUVY SAY: Ride south from Lower Whitefish Road, follow the east-side corridor of Whitefish Lake into Whitefish, then turn east through the town’s straighter streets. Continue across the grid, step through the final right-angle turns, and finish on East Edgewood Drive.
WE SAY: This is going to be a fast finale to the August Championship. Can you hold onto a fast group on the 5 mile descent before 2 miles of moderate ascent splits the field up towards the halfway point. Keep an eye on your heart rate and your rivals, its a long flat section in the 2nd half to survive or catch those ahead.

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)
Alpine Panorama route | Stage 7 | Fribourg – Montbovon | 35.03 miles | 2,949 ft. elevation
Leave the historic city of Fribourg and head south through the Gruyère valley. Ride past Lake Gruyère, the medieval town of Gruyères and into the foothills of the Swiss Alps, finishing in the scenic Pays-d’Enhaut region.
Single event this Sunday with the usual am/pm timeslots available. This route is not our typical hill climb, a nice 3000ft elevation but we would describe this route as ‘punchy’.
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 Warm Up Race
Gravel | Madison Buffalo Jump State Park | Montana | 6.75 miles | 230 ft. elevation
Ride north-northeast from Madison Road, follow the road east of the Madison River, and reach the route highlight around 9.30 km. Turn east across the open grid, swing south on the eastern leg toward Buffalo Jump Road, and finish on Buffalo Jump Road near the Madison Buffalo Jump State Monument area.
Tuesday Race Night (aka the w/kg training championship)
Butte | Great Divide | Montana | 12.41 miles | 1,191 ft. elevation
Ride south from Phillips Street in Butte, roll out from the Floral Park edge near I-90 and reach the route highlight around 4.8 km. Hold the southbound corridor east of Bert Mooney Airport, continue past the 375 marker, then bend southwest through the final open road section to finish on Moose Creek Road.
First Tuesday of the month so we have a 2.0w/kg target this week. The climb is at the end so no need to get extra watts in the bank as it may be hard to shed any extra watts over 2w/kg on the final climb.
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)
Columbia Falls | Great Divide | Montana | 14.18 miles | 577 ft. elevation
Ride east-southeast from Wisconsin Avenue in Whitefish, leave the town edge and follow the grid roads toward Halfmoon. Reach the route highlight after the fifteenth kilometre, pass near Country Estates Mobile Home Park, enter the Columbia Falls corridor, then turn south through the final grid section and finish on Middle Road.
It’s week 1 of a new championship month so that means one thing, a no draft TT. A good TT route, short, flat enough for the big riders but a number of short 6% and 7% kickers to make sure they don’t have it all their way and balance the favour to the lighter riders.

TO FINISH OFF:
EDIT since blog first published: We received information that Stefan793 received a Rouvy DSQ tonight that, on review, does not look justified and has cost him 1st place (verified by the following rider). It is our view that a glitch, whether a Rouvy fault or Rider fault should be viewed as a racing incident and the Rouvy result is deemed final .. however .. we will manually intervene if we receive communication and evidence that we accept as accurate within 1 hour of the last rider finishing the race. Unfortunately, we did not get this information before publication of the results and we have the 1 hour rule as retrospective amendments for situations beyond our control would take too much time.
A reminder for the Category Promotion & Relegation criteria:
Highest Rider in each category* is promoted providing they, and at least one other same category opponent, have competed in all 4 events. (*highest Cat 9 rider is only promoted to A8 if they are ‘Verified’ to be providing heart rate data).
Lowest Rider that has competed in all 4 events in each category is relegated, any rider who has finished in the overall Top 3 bonus points positions is NOT relegated.
We are really pleased with the Category system and the level of engagement it has developed and encouraged. It’s great to see the races within the race and how it impacts the strategies of individual riders.
We feel fixed Categories would still see the same faces as winners each month even if the category bands were narrow (eg. 2.8w/kg-3.0w/kg). Promotion/Relegation creates a reward, performance and participation system that keeps it both dynamic and engaging. Promotion gives you the opportunity and reward of testing yourself against stronger opposition, Relegation makes you the big fish in the next pond and the opportunity to gain bonus points and bounce back up. Hopefully, you have all been in a competitive promotion or relegation battle at some point this year. We are also seeing that most categories are evolving towards multiple regular participants, increasing competition and helping riders naturally find their correct Category without our manual intervention, A1 and A2 still need to catch up a little but they will get there.
Hopefully somebody from the MOCH e-cykling team sees this blog. Firstly, welcome to Muckers Worldwide racing events, great to have you onboard, unfortunately we are unable to include any performance in our results without heart rate data (unless the rider is classified as A9). We just wanted to let you know, it may not be important to you, but if you would like to be included reach out to us in the comments below and we can guide you on the requirements.
World championship blog will be updated a little later this month while we give Neil a chance to return from holiday and kick start his computer again, so expect the finished article to be shared during the first week of September.
Welp! I made it?! I guess I am looking forward to competing in a stacked A4 …
but without Manuel – noooo! Hopefully we can soon cross paths again.
Thanks for a fun August. Thank you Steven and Kyle for organizing and recapping!
Congrats and well done! Congrats too to the others who won their categories – especially Dan Wren going from A6 to A5.
You have done a great job the past couple of months 👍👍 getting up there with the fastest
Thank you both – how very nice of you to comment on my promotion guys!
A4 actually was a goal for the year for me and now I’ve made it! So this is awesome. But this state of happiness is indeed a temporary, as I am just now looking over the names in A4 … yeah, I’m gonna get dunked on.
Rinse and Repeat tactic from last week by hitching a ride on the downhill train. Approx 35 minutes estimate so I felt 3.1w/kg could be achievable so I wanted to be below that target after the descent so I could keep fighting afterwards. I was still out of my depth in strong company and finally had to let go on the smallest of lumps 4 miles from the end. I was now solo with about 6 riders in a group 0.25 miles behind .. somehow I held them off by 14 seconds, but it was no picnic, as we say.
Hi Ste – if you had the TT wheels you would have stuck with us! , Total respect for you sticking to the road wheels. Cheers!
Thanks Eric, I always look at the route analyser to see what penalty I get for my decision. Today was 50 seconds which is a lot on a short race and I find it hard in a group full of TT wheels to hang on .. but no .. I won’t be dissuaded, road wheels for road races 😉.
Downhill start, a few rollers, then flattish. 32 in the lead group at the base of the first ramp. It’s apparent that a lot of riders are doing a lot of races and are getting pretty good at this. That was a strong group! Four groups after that first climb, then my third group caught the second on the second little climb. We 15 were 500 m behind the lead group of 8 hitters, hammering mindlessly away, too fast for any tactics. Finish sprint: I was well positioned, but, I dunno, maybe not the best legs today, ended up 13th of 15 in the group.
I was happy to see the August results in the blog showing I’d hung onto 6th in GC (by less than a point ahead of Matthias!). I’d been thinking I’d lost so many points today! Nice that there was no damage after all. Welcome, Tim_Hall, to A1. You gotta do the main event so we can keep an eye on you, huh?
I had a decent start but found myself a little deeper in the big lead pack. Got in with some good riders and manage to get back with the leaders. As expected, I fell behind on the climb and found my self in the 40s. I crested with with a group out of my league (antyradziu, enry1963, amartins, BikeandDogTrips) Sorry of I missed anyone, Not sure how but I stayed with this group, trying to do my part. antyrdziu fell behind with around the 3/4 mark and I just couldn’t hold on until the end, losing the group about the 15 mi mark. The group behind was about .5 miles behind so I didn’t get past and I managed to keep my speed up enough to beat my average speed goal of 28 mph at 28.4. Finished in 39 place, and by default manage to place 3rd in A5, get some bonus points, and not get demoted LOL. I don’t think I have the same outcome next month with stronger riders coming from below and above. Oh well, tons of fun, and I love the challenge!! Thanks to all the riders I rode with this month and all that are putting in so much time and effort keeping this amazing train going.
You done a great job keeping up with the A5 group. For some reason i am ahead of you in points this month and i’m not sure why?? I was 1sec ahead of you on week one but behind you on all the others. Seems like you should have had more points
It was TT week where you scored 30pts more than Brian. When you finish high..ish in the Top50 the point gaps are larger. Outside the Top50 it becomes 0.1 point per position so when he finished 11 places above you in one race it only translated as 1.1pt difference. Top50 is where the rewards are highest 🎉.
… but you are not wrong, if it was a time based GC, Brian ‘nailed’ you this month .. You made it count when it mattered and claimed the points for higher placings. It’s interesting how fine the differences are and why it’s important to gain every ‘place’ you can. It’s easy to sit up on the main event thinking your position is safe, then you find out 2 riders went 1 second faster on an earlier event 🤦 .. I’ve been guilty of that.
Ahh that makes sense. So basically he needs to pull his finger out on time trial day 😂😂 lol……just kidding
Yah those darn TT’s. I keep learning more and more about how the points system works. First goal is aways to get into the top 50 and second is to never give up toward the finish thinking I’m not going to lose any position. I always check the prior races to set my average speed goal and I have been using you as the mark Paul.😜
I decided to race the final event out of fairness and a sense of team spirit, even though I was coming off three days of intense riding. Naturally, I was lacking a bit of power by the end, but I worked with a solid group of four to hold off the chasers—and we almost caught Steven right at the finish. It’s almost a joke: the one month where the courses were perfect for me, I ended up getting relegated—so I won’t be able to race directly against Kris… Oh well. Maybe resting would have been the smarter move to stay in A4, but it makes me wonder if they shouldn’t also relegate riders who don’t complete all four races—since they didn’t fully commit to the series, or perhaps skipped a race for tactical reasons… Food for thought. 💪👍🦈
Sometimes it would be nice to consider the 3 event riders for relegation but we would have to build another set of calculations (average points per race) to work it out .. not impossible, but more time and more data to squeeze on the screen.
But seriously, we want people to be ‘in the game’ to enjoy the benefits of promotion/relegation, I only manage to do 4 events about 5 times a year and I really miss the excitement it generates, it makes me want to do 4 events and that’s how we want others to feel.
As you know, Neil never stops thinking how things could be better, if he feels anything could improve it will eventually reach his radar.
Yes you are right, but I think also for who as me that every time want to join in the all events, at the end result better missing a race… 😅, therefore will be another big battle also in A5. Thanks and 👋💪🦈
For a moment, I had the idea of skipping a race, staying in A6, and waiting for Neil :))) but the goal is the points for the whole year, right? So, I’m not overthinking it, I’m just going to race and fight for it 🙂
There are a lot of strong competitors in the A6 group (it’s probably the biggest group) so I’m dropping down to A7, then I’ll fight it out and try to move back up to A6. It’s all about having fun 🙂
Yes, if you miss a race to avoid relegation you ‘shoot yourself in the foot’. Less points for Monthly and World Championship GC. Then disappointment of relegation has a Silver lining, big opportunity for bonus points in the following month.
Categories are there to add extra spice and dimension to your weekly racing fix .. but points mean prizes 😉
Well I thought I put everything into the race but w/kg don’t agree. On Tuesday I took it easy but somehow finished with a higher w/kg. I’m going to have to think about that and see how I can use that in future races. I did find myself isolated after the kickers. I failed to jump on the Mikeee37 Sunniva train. I am happy with the results (for now) I had 4 solid races. I need to work on keeping my average watts higher for longer. I need to work on accelerating before a group passes. I did win my sprint but just barely .1 seconds, so I need to keep working on my finish. I’d like to congratulate VilemStrakos for a fantastic result and your promotion to A6. Hope to see everyone’s avatar in September 😁😁😁
Hi Chuck, I thought you’d be able to join our group. I really enjoyed riding with Mikeee37, though I felt like he tried to drop me a few times. But I was sending him mental messages: “Don’t do this to me, let’s work together, it’s so much easier riding as a pair,” and I think he make have heard them :)))
The downhill start ruined my chances of a good position in the peloton. I just couldn’t pedal any faster or harder. I had to work hard on the flat section, and it was great having Mikeee37 with me. I’m heading back to A7, so next month you’ll be my rival 🙂 See you then.
VilemStrakos absouletly smoked that last race. I want what he took! lol
Holiday race after ride to Ljubljana. I could stay with Stefan within top ten after those three small climbs, but best seven were gone. Bigger group catched us and we finished in sprint. I liked the race, nice to ride with other people, they are also strong.
Approached this one a bit differently than usual. Did an incredibly relaxed descent (I think I was in the 50s a one point) with the goal of feeling as fresh as possible for the 5ish minute effort afterwards. I felt great and got through that section with a great group that included BTK_jiri70_cz and simonjp. We worked reasonably hard to catch up to SLudford’s group, then after a little breather there was some attacking. I don’t remember who was off the front, but I said “what the hell” and attacked myself a few miles out from the finish. I was able to bridge, but not fast enough and the 2 of us were reeled in at the top one of the small rollers. I can’t sprint, so it was worth a shot. As it turned out, I actually didn’t do to badly at the finish (sprinting to 3rd in our group of 7 at the end). I still felt good at the finish and was wondering how I might have fared if I’d pushed harder on the initial descent to latch on to one of the leading groups, but I think I made the right decision. The group that finished in front of us was over 1:35 ahead and the last 3 in that sprint were all ones who would have probably easily beaten me in a sprint themselves. So . . . even if I’d made that group – and improved my time by 1:30 or so – I would have likely only moved up 2 places. I was just glad no one doing one of the earlier events slipped into that big 1:30 gap. Overall, quite happy with my performance this week and most of August. Just wish I could climb a bit better and get a redo on week 3. Kudos again to DanWren for winning our category this month. Hoping to join him in A5 if I can string 4 solid weeks together – and I get lucky with the route selection (i.e. not too many big climbs).
Very nice Klinthomie! I’m going to have to try to keep trying to stay up with you and the A4 speedster. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll get into A4 if I have a good month.
