MUCKERS 2026 MAY CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 2.

ROUTE AND RACE DETAILS:

Tour of the Alps 2026 | Stage 1 – Innsbruck | 21.75 miles | 1,568 ft. elevation

ROUVY SAY: Ride through Innsbruck and into the Inn valley, following fast valley roads before climbing into the quiet villages above Axams. Rolling terrain and alpine views shape the return, with a mix of steady efforts and flowing descents back to the city.

WE SAY: Why do i do the tough routes on a Thursday and the “fun” routes on a Tuesday 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️💪. Weeks ago when i schedule these, if i have a choice of 2 routes, i will always put the “harder” looking one into the world championship as my thoughts are it’s the best way to get through the more harder/boring looking routes and sometimes, you end up having an epic race on what would have been a pain to do as a solo ride. That’s the theory anyway….. But when I’m on that start line and looking at the profile, i do question my theories……lol

We’ve also had a great turn out for the whole event. As the races finish (starting with last nights “Recon”) I’m on the end leaderboards checking for heart rate data of all the finishers. It’s no deep dive, but if you have nothing registered, you get added to the list of non-verified riders. So as we go through the year if you’ve been verified in the past, and have a heart rate sensor issue, don’t panic, its fine if you are already on the verified list. But if you end up with a long spell of no HR, you will eventually be moved to non-verified and its up to you to let us know you are back up and running with hr data.

Remember we only ask for this data to be monitored as a rule to just keep everything working on as level a playing field as possible. So if anyone decides to complain or question someone’s behavior, we can go back into the history and make a better judgment into that rider. Power graphs without a hr graph besides it means absolutely no way to say if a rider is legit, but a hr graph next to it, that shows an increase in heart rate when power goes up, shows somethings right. Power going up and hear rate staying to same or going down….. system failure or E-Bike. Do you want to know how many riders have been bought up this year? Zero. Which kinda shows it works as a deterrent.

I’m only going over the above tonight because even though we had a great turn out over this weeks 7 races, we have also put over 30 riders into the non-verified camp due to no HR data which we really don’t like to do, especially those riders further down the field who are possibly new to the Muckers races and don’t realize why they aren’t on our leaderboard.

And lastly remember, this requirement is just for the Muckers World Championship, here, on this blog. We can’t disqualify you from the official ROUVY standings or take your time away from the leaderboard or challenge credit, just here.

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)

Flamengos | Azores | 21.94 miles | 3,031 ft. elevation.

Just the one climb this weekend so maybe add on one of the Italian challenge routes we haven’t scheduled as your own personal add-on? Maybe also Set all 10 pace partners up at a w/kg you’d like and chill in their draft? But officially, just the one climb on Sunday.

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)

Tour of the Alps 2026 |Stage 4 – Trento | 19.45 miles | 1,434 ft. elevation.

Target of 2.5 this Tuesday coming on another fun looking route. Should be quite hard to hit the finish line with a 2.5w/kg average with all that green profile so remember to get some in the bag on the climbs!

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)

Cheddar Gorge | Babble Ride Across Britain | 20.29 miles | 1,385 ft. elevation

Another Thursday killer route! What was i thinking??? Tuesdays looks so much more fun lol. But its a current challenge route and we get to ride on the correct side of the road for once so there’s always a silver lining if you look really really hard…..

Search “Muckers championship” in the event search function on ROUVY to find all the scheduled races we have created so far at the 7 different start times. All start times included in the championship


TO FINISH OFF:

Race 2 done and already the categories look more “normal”. Its really pointless trying to judge after the very first race, especially when you think on they were formed after the last race of the previous month, not this exact race. But also remember that we kinda want you moving around the categories to the point where you are in 1 of 3: your main one being the middle one, but if you have a cracking or lucky month, you move up 1, or if you have a stinker, you move down 1. Just to keep if interesting and give more people chance at the category bonus points. That’s what we are using it for and not to try and get everyone in the exact category they should be in for the whole year…. where’s the fun in that? 😉. We totally get that some riders get very analytical and work out for themselves they should be in this or that category, but if you look at it in the way we described above, hopefully you see why we do it this way.

Here’s something we’d like some feedback on. Been trying to come up with a way to not disqualify as many riders as we do, especially those at the bottom of the leaderboard, who might just be trying a bit of racing with us for the first time, to see if its there thing? Seems a massive shame to then disqualify these riders who have just spent a long time riding the same route as all of us. So as well as what I’ve wrote at the top of the blog, does anyone have any objections to us not applying the HR data rule to the A9 category, but at the end of the month we only promote the highest placed verified rider to A8? So from A8 upwards, its business as usual. It won’t affect 90% of you who read this, but your views would be great. It’s just in the idea phase at the moment so it’s not been decided either way.

Last thing, If you have any weird disqualifications by ROUVY from any races, please let us know asap via discord, facebook messenger or email and as long as you send a screen shot over, we will try our best to add you. But it’s up to you to get in touch with us asap and before we get all the results together. It’s a massive hassle to redo it all once the spreadsheet is all done and then transferred to the blog. Tonight, UncleE64 had an issue, let us know very quickly and sent his ROUVY screen shot. Even if we can’t 100% put you where you finished, at least getting 80/90 points in “last” place is better than 0. but we have to know within a few hours of the last race as we are on with it pretty much as soon as we have finished the race, showered and sat down at the PC.

I think that’s everything…. Thanks’ everyone for the support, thanks for reading the blog and a special thank you to all those that read my ramblings all the way to the end. I’m sure i could get A.I to summarize this whole thing quicker and more clearly, but i enjoy writing this blog too much to do that… for now…. 😏

    Set off like a madman just to see if i could clear the first little climb and be with the big boys! Hey, I’m A5 now and gotta’ represent! lol. Anyway, somehow did this and managed to be in the top group of 17, rolled into 1st place a few times (and i even pulled for a little bit at the very front just to show i can ride at 3.8 if i have to 🥵🥵🥵.

    Then it was time to say goodbye as the climb came, i was spent but had just had a lot of fun… so settled down, and started to wind myself up to climb at around 2.8ish as this part now looked too long for me! Also now wanted to see if my tactics of getting out fast with the leading pack were ok and I’d be able to jump on my with my usual crowed once they caught me up. They got me just past half way, i was at 2.7/2.8 and they came past at 2.9/3.0 so at first i thought I’d not be able to do it but lets try. Somehow i stayed with them!! Its was a horrendous mental battle though, one side of my brain telling me to back off and ride with the pack behind, the other side of my brain saying “yeah you could do that, but then 4worldpeace will laugh at my stupid start!!!”

    So we got to the top and the climb stats flashed up, average of 2.9. that’s bloody good for me for that length of climb! We rode along the little flat green bit together and hit that next small climb and if any of them had gone for a 3.5 up it, I’d have been toast, but they didn’t. was i doing well??, or where they all thinking the same that we should stick together as a large pack down the other side is much faster than 3 or 4 duos??? which ever it was, we all went down the other side together and the slingshots were working a treat. It’s quite hard to judge exactly where you are when using a mobile phone as your screen and only having 4 other riders on the nearby list, but luckily i didn’t get dropped, although i was close once or twice.

    now its getting a bit cagy towards the end, a few yellow sections see most of us trying to get draft up them rather than pull, but luckily momentum is still strong so we aren’t getting caught from behind. I think everyone’s waiting for that last orange kicker, but I’m waiting for the last little yellow section nearer the finish…. we all get over the orange one together then on the yellow one, I’m placed nicely and when i feel i can kick all the way over to the green, i go! I feel I’ve done great and feel quite strong but then i just get caught and passed by one other, but I’ve gapped everyone else! Result! just watch that gap to the finish line and my place is safe…. and it was.

    OMG what a physically and mentally exhausting ride that was! loved it!

    Great read Neil. I am beginning to appreciate the perspective of a four race, month long competition. If every race course matched with your skill set, that wouldn’t be a whole lot of fun. Blowing it out at the start, when you have a 63.5 1/4 horse power body, crushing the primary climb at 5++ w/kg, and then getting whooshed on by everyone, including grandma on her city single speed bike on the descent isn’t a lot of fun either.
    Permission to try a different approach with the aim to finish maybe 25 instead of 35 on this type of course becomes the goal..
    1) Don’t blast the start all the way to the climb. You have a rather pathetic blast. Tuck in and remain calm.
    2) The usual small chainring 90rpm climb, but maybe 4.3w/kg rather than 5+w/kg.
    3) Moderate power as one approaches the top, and do not start the descent on your own. Oh, Yumile and Wollie.d are here. This might work, just focus, focus, focus.
    And down we went. Thumbs up all around at the bottom of the major downhill. Then hard determined pace on the flats and small ups We were not catching the star studded group ahead, but noone was catching us either. I did get gapped off just a bit as the two big guys wound it up for their sprint. They earned it. Finished 24 when all the races were blended in. Next week a similar type of course. BUT THEN, week 4, a course with 5 smaller but categorized climbs. Pablo land?

    What else. I am about to plunk down a lot of $$ for a climbing gravel race in the foothills of the Olympic mountains. If it is not raining the mountains should be spectacular. If it rains, the ” F ” word.
    And this Saturday it likely will rain. I will not be out on the bike, but I will plan to spend the day in the bleachers watching 14 yo grand daughter and her team in the state 7 v 7 flag football championships.
    If I don’t get pneumonia I should be out for a Sunday Mucker stroll in the hills. Be well everyone and cheers.
