So since there are a lot of us who do a lot of riding away from the Guelph area during the summer, we'll add in another option for hill climbs (we'll keep the classic hill system, but this will just allow everybody to be competitive!
How this will work is you upload your ride to Strava and then post up the total meters climbed, it's that simple! If you're lacking a GPS, Strava has a free smartphone app that doesn't drain your battery too badly. Alternatively, you can also use Map my Ride or even Google Earth to get elevation information if you don't have a smartphone. The only condition is that you can't double count your climbs (eg. if you climb Watson you either get 2 points on the other system or 17 m on this board).
If anybody has any further suggestions for this let me know, and let the climbing commence!
