Earn That Turkey Holiday Challenge

Stay ahead of the holiday food coma with some extra motivation to ride in November

~ 5 Miles a Day 100 miles in three weeks? Piece of cake! Great for the time constrained commuter. Motivate yourself to leave the car at home! ~ 10 Miles a Day 200 total miles, this tier is perfect if you have a long commute or regularly take long weekend rides. ~ 20 Miles a Day At 400 total miles, you are a dedicated rider and are out there rain or shine. Show us what you got with this attainable, albeit difficult, tier.

Why Should I Join?

If you are anything like us, once it starts cooling off and raining you tend to ignore your bike. It's great to take a break but the holiday eating season is the worst time to stop exercising. Join us for some extra motivation this November and we'll help you stay on top of your fitness. By committing to one of our three challenge tiers, you'll maintain your peak fitness longer, allowing an easier start to next year's riding season.

This is a challenge to encourage riding rather than climb rankings (though we do have rankings for people motivated by them), so don't worry if you feel a bit slow. We are in the same boat here at ridewithgps HQ!

When

Monday, Nov 11th through midnight Saturday, Nov 30th.

How it works

Pick a distance tier above and click JOIN NOW. Meet your mileage goals, either daily or by taking longer weekend rides when it's dry. Snap some photos for bonus points. Seriously, it'll help you win prizes. We'll email you friendly motivational reminders along the way.

That's it! You'll keep up on your riding which should help you maintain a bit of your fitness over the winter. Plus, you'll be more prepared for your riding adventures next year.

Prizes

If you meet your mileage goals, we'll enter you into our prize lottery. Everyone who completes their goals will get an equal chance at prizes. Additionally, for every ride that has a Boosted photo we'll bump up your odds in the lottery by a super-secret formula. Boosted means that someone else thought it was good enough to praise, so no arbitrary food shots here (unless it's the worlds biggest turkey).

As always we will hand out a couple prizes based off our own criteria.

We'll be distributing a couple of our Ride with GPS jerseys, a handful of our Specialized Purist water bottles, and will share the best rides and photos with the wider community.

What's next?

Join the challenge and we'll make it easy to participate. It will be easy to submit your ride, and there will be a challenge page that displays all the submissions so you can check out everyone else's rides. Don't forget to Boost your favorites!
