If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with it, you create a &#8220;KOM segment&#8221; on a map on their site, and they post a leaderboard for that segment with times of all people who have ridden that segment and uploaded the file to the site.

I&#8217;m not sure if anyone will bite, but at least the &#8220;ride hard for longer than 5 minutes&#8221; gauntlet has been thrown down.
