Jimmy, I know you have done The Bear several times, not sure about your history on the other KOM rides but I'm sure you could finish them all in a decent time. Okay, most "normal people" don't even ride bicycles; for sure any of these rides would be impossible for them.
But . . . any decently experienced rider, with some hill-climb training under their wheels could finish under the time limit for any KOM rides or Ride Around the Bear.
I'd heard about OCW taking over Breathless Agony but not about OCW cancelling RATB. Sorry to hear that; I've ridden it 12 times and always enjoyed it.
