In reply to Angela. Once you reach the top of the climb, it will automatically loop you around and you'll descend what you just climbed. You have to manually do a U-turn if you want to climb it again once you reach the bottom (or at any point mid-descent). Your workout will continue regardless of where you're at as long as you don't stop it. Hope that clarifies.

Hi @Cody Stephenson , @Eric Schlange ,

when you do a workout on climb portal – what happens if the workout is longer than the climb (1 hour workout on Cipressa or Cheddar gorge) – do you turn during the workout and climb again or do you have to turn manually or end workout and start over again to the a 2nd climb?

Thanks.

Hi @Eric Schlange ,

Do we get the arch bonuses on climb portal in workout mode as well?

Thanks

Have the climbing portal algorithms been changed since the 10 year anniversary? I was awarded only one +250 XP during my last 7 climbs (1 out of 70 arches).

Have the bonus probabilities been modified (feather 25%, small bonus 65%, large bonus 10%)? The past three days I have been riding in the climb portal, passed through 103 arches, got 19 FEATHERS (18.45%), 79 SMALL BONUS (76.7%), 5 LARGE BONUS (4.9%). It has been a while since my statistics classes, but my sample size seems large enough that the percentages should have been closer to the 25-65-10 ratio.

Do we still put it in workout mode like you recommended with the TT bike?

In reply to Keith Floyd. Woah... you averaged 37.5 hours of riding every WEEK? That's nuts!

Probability is a pain – eight ascents and no 250XP, I’m hoping for 10 in a row on first climb tomorrow!
I think that is a 1 in 5000 chance – will see what the odds get to before I get the 250XP!!
