Pointless Prize: Ross Hill Loop

[randomduck]

Greetings! I’m sponsoring a Pointless Prize for the rider who does the most laps of the Ross Hill Loop segment in Rock Creek Park. This segment would also count for those approaching from the south – but no double-dipping, please.

This is a 3.6 mile loop that starts and ends at the intersection of Beach Drive and Joyce Road NW. It runs clockwise, so it does the climb up the Ridge Road lacets. Each lap has 264 feet of climbing.

Simply tag your rides with the #rosshillloop hashtag to put the ride in consideration. The prize will be worth the climbing. Photos not necessary but not discouraged, either.

This pointless prize is still not on the leadership, as of Day 25. It shows up only under the hashtag.

So, does my loop count? I approached it from the north point, continued riding to the south entry, made a loop, and headed to Virginia.

Yes, that should count. As long as it’s the full loop, done in one crack and not doing the first half, riding on, then doing the second half, it’s good.

I was wondering that myself. O BAFS website tabulation deities: what’s the answer here?

I keep getting 502 errors for the Ross Hill Loop PP. Appears to be some sort of glitch in the tabulations.

If enough people believe in the link, the link will work.
