Only one week left before this year's challenge kicks off. Get on over and sign up if you like to ride bicycle even a little bit. I bet you will end up riding more than usual if you do.0

Hey BigDog. Just wanted to say thanks for the reminder on this. I really enjoyed it last year and would have most likely forgot about it this year had you not made this post. So....Thanks man!0

Hey ... I´ve joined the team. I have a question. In Denmark we travel kilometers ;-) not miles. If I track my rides by Endomondo will the app do the math for me and log in miles on the bikechallange? Or will I have to do it myself manually?0

Joined the challenge for the first time this year. Sadly I won't be contributing many miles till later in May as we'll be traveling. Looking forwards to a great summer.0

Just found this thread. I'm in. Need the motivation for a ride in August so this will work.0

No problem @Hornsby (I'm guessing that's the case for many people.) I didn't realize but the website stays up all year long so you can keep on racking up miles and points, but they don't count for each year's challenge except during the "challenge" period.
I'm not sure @abelcat1 . Actually... I'm not sure if this is USA only or world wide. (I think it might, currently, only be a USA site. Here is a link where you can find answers and ask questions about anything relating to the "Challenge" https://getsatisfaction.com/nationalbikechallenge0 -

Now that it syncs with Strava, it will be much easier for me to keep it up to date year around.

Ok BigDog... Thanks. I was allowed to enter the challange being Dane and was able to pick Copenhagen as my timezone. But the challange is not geared for metrics and kilometers. It appears users have been struggling with Endomondo not synching correct km to miles. I will have to Google this a bit more... ;-)0

Hi there--I just joined up! Looking forward to a great Summer of riding. I'll be logging miles with Strava.0
-
Is there an MFP group for us as well? Or should we continue to post progress, etc on this thread?0
-
The challenge itself keeps up with progress? I guess you could track it here to if you wanted.0

Okay!0

I signed up last year but since I use Strava I never ended up entering anything. Glad they are using Strava now.0

Ok, I'm on board. I never heard of this but it is perfect for me. I won't be the strongest member on the team, but I will enjoy it!
Mission this weekend: get the air in the tires and get some routes mapped and warmed up! ~ Kathy0 -
Thanks BigDog and Mxchana for the information about the challenge. Just got the Trek out and dusted off the seat, tires aired up and of course the rain is moving in. But I needed something to motivate me to get back on the bike and ride. It is a fun recreational activity, that also burns up some calories, what is not to love?

Glad to see all the new people joining in. It's a great way to motivate, but don't need to take it too seriously either. The whole thing is meant to just get people outside and riding and moving more. Although... You also can win prizes too. It's a lottery type thing but it's still a motivating factor. (I won a pair of sunglasses last year... I never win anything!)
Maybe we will get to 100 riders this year.0
