Winter Challenge 21-22

Rules

• Start 30th October 2021 – Finish 27th March 2022
• You get 10 points for each destination + 1 point per 10 (full) miles, 2 bonus points if the ride is with another club member and 20 bonus points if you complete all 20 destinations.
• There is no minimum or maximum distance and you can use any start or finish point.
• Visit every destination listed, on road, gravel or mountain bike; no E-bikes though.
• At least 10 of your rides should be on weekends (to make it fairer for those who can only ride weekends).
• Record your ride within 2 days on Strava as DCV + destination letter (see the list below). Once recorded that’s it, you can’t do that destination again, so make the mileage count!
• Complete as many destinations per ride as you like but mileage points may suffer as a result.
• Prizes and a trophy will be awarded for most points and best photo.
• Take photos within 50 m of the destination and post them on the WhatsApp DCV Club Rides group.
