Strava Rapha Rising Challenge

Have seen quite a few people have signed up for this challenge on Strava, 28,871 feet of climbing in just 9 days that starts on Saturday. Just wondering if anyone actually has a battle plan.

My calculations show that Rose hill stands at approximately 434 feet (according to Strava data), this would mean going up it 66 times in 9 days. Or 7.33 times a day for 9 days.

Or for even more fun, Winwood Heath Road to the water tower is showing at just 338 feet, 85 laps of the Hill Climb any one?

I've completed this two years running, but I'm not sure I have the patience this year. The first year, me and Martin resorted to doing seemingly endless hill repeats in the Lickeys in the rain. It was not fun.
