Local Legend: the athlete who completes a given segment the most over a rolling 90-day period. But what would it take to become a Strava Local Legend in just one day? Always up for a challenge, Conor decided to find out by taking on his local Bathwick Hill climb 35 times in a single ride. That’s over 5,000m of elevation gain! Will he claim the coveted laurel crown?
