On Bicycles, and.... what else is there?

I spent a lot of time recently working on the web pages for the 2013 Low-Key Hillclimbs . Every year this series takes an enormous amount of time and every year I wonder if I want to scale it back or maybe even not do it again but the enthusiasm of participants always keeps me going, and every year I tweak things a bit to keep it fresh. For example, in 2012 I blew out my previous constraints on scoring code complexity, but the result was a much fairer balancing of scores week-to-week. Additionally 2012 was the first year using GPS timing, which worked extremely well for week 7 up Montara Mountain . This year brought two big changes: "coordinator's choice" where coordinators could pick their own climbs (rather than attempting to pick a balanced selection myself). This yielded an excellent schedule. But the big one is week 4: Portola Valley Hills , a GPS timing week much more complex than last year's dirt climb.
