ROUVY finally released the latest challenges today and they added a little one to get 1km done today and claim 300 Career experience! For doing just 1Km!! quickly looked for the shortest route in the downhill library and found this little beauty, quickly threw a race together and sent out the invites. If we had over 10 on the start line then I am personally contracted to myself to do a report and this why we are here!
As long as you really go for it at the beginning and try your hardest to get to that ROUVY max speed, you should be on for a time just over 4 minutes! 1000+ watts sprint from “Basak.oztan” got the American his first Muckers Win! And under 4 minutes as well. 1.5 seconds behind comes Muckers Worldwide Team Rider “Mucker1974” who could only muster 700 watts at the beginning so was always going to be behind for the rest of the hill! 0.7 seconds later came Another Muckers Worldwide Team Rider “DolphWader” who nearly didn’t bother with this last minute race… and now has an official podium on his records!
Over a second later comes yet another Muckers Worldwide Team Rider “Chak” with 4th place, then just 0.1 second behind in 5th comes “Squallo_delle_Alpi” who really should be a mucker by now!? are you really that attached to that ‘shark Attack’ Team Name?😉
6th place to the last Muckers Worldwide Team Rider in the top 10: “jeff65” and i now hope he feels it was worth it getting that heart rate sensor so he was totally on board with the latest rule changes for a a mention! Well done Mucker! With the same time but classed a place below in 7th comes “mareckii” with the Polish rider just getting over the line in front of a trio of American riders.
“purplebengal” claims 8th and shows she’s just as fast down the hills as she is up them, 0.5 seconds later comes “Bing-C” in 9th, then in the final mention place comes “rossaduc” in 10th, just 5.2 seconds behind the winner!
Well done top10! It was just a bit of fun just so we got those extra career experience points but i really appreciate everyone jumping on and actually trying to get down this hill as fast as the could!

2nd!!! 😂😂 i have to buy a mention T-Shirt now! it was just for fun i know, but i still found myself doing 3 practice runs before the race so i knew where to put it in on the main race. basically right at the start just get my head down and get to 44.7mph asap, then a little bit of green recovery, then a section that needed full power to cross it before the rest of the east downhill! I also worked out, after this part, i only had to pedal again when the gradient went below 8%! anything over 8% and i just rolled at the max speed. So i guess the only thing left now is what language do i want my T-Shirt in????
Thanks for the race. That was a nice spot in our afternoon. Rossaduc & I joined at last minute, our internet was slow, almost didn’t make it. Knew there was no hope of keeping up with the big watt guys; what an awesome job and awesome power, you top three! Noticed no drafting. It was fun and definitely a different kind of technique must be learned for these all downhill rides…
hi, thank you so much for commenting. it was a fun race but thats the problem with these non-AR routes, no drafting and no avatars. but it was short and sweet!
3rd…… first and only time ever :-p
It was such a fun short race. Go all out from the start. I did pay attention and so Neil came flying pass me and got a gab of 15 meters. Going downhill doing 72 km/h doing 15 watts making the chance to reclaim my lead was a no go :-p
So fun
Thanks Neil for taking the time to create the race and even doing the race report
Hey Mucker, we’ve both had a podium and no one can take that away from us!! well done as you had to put it in at the start to get in a decent place so its not like you didn’t put any effort in!
Finally my fat bottom worked for something. lol.
I was busy with a work email before the race, when I got on the trainer it was 30 secs to start. Between clipping in, finding the right gears, I saw the 5…4…3… countdown. I was still on a big sprocket, started spinning crazy. After the race I saw I hit 140 rpms. lol. Anyway, my clyde weight on a four digit watts sprint took me to 44.7 mph limit quickly. There was another 10 second sprint needed right away but after that just coast down the hill. no power necessary. 🙂 Finally a podium mention on a Mucker race…woohoo. Thanks for organizing this Neil!!
Well done pal, and you only had to go slightly over 100 watts to do it! piece of cake for you….. thanks for jumping on!
today I didn’t want to do physical activity after my 40k trail in the mountains, but a Muckers invitation arrives on Monday… and I think it’s a mistake. I checked and then I said to myself ok, first I’ll do a 17k in Brazil and then we’ll try my first downhill race…. I entered 1 minute from the start and then off to do what my tired legs could give. An excellent 5th even though I didn’t even see an avatar nearby on the screen 🤣.
@Neil, now I’m changing the name of the Team 😜
Welcome welcome welcome Mucker!! Non-AR routes means no Avatars but its fine for 4 minutes! fun race and thanks for taking up the invite.
Hello. Race down interesting. I haven’t ridden like that yet. Cool experience. I approached him after a previously completed 45 km group ride and gave advice, which makes me happy. It was a bit strange to drive without an avatar .:) See you at the next race. Best regards.
300 points in the bank, 6th position what’s not to like, and the new hrm monitor working with ok . Spun out most of the ride, more steep up hills please!
