We'll draw for prizes at Birdsong at the stop for the Critical Mass ride. Each rider who participated in the Challenge will get tickets based on miles, points, days miles were logged and leadership. Choose which prize(s) you want to win and then we'll draw the winning ticket for each prize.

You can get your tickets before the ride or at Birdsong. Please enter the prize drawings as soon as you get there so we can start drawing for prizes. We should be at Birdsong around 9. And drawings should start at 9:15.

2014 Charlotte Bike Challenge Summary 1

This entry was posted in Blog Pam's Blog and tagged National Bike Challenge stats on September 26, 2014 by pambikes

The local challenge of the National Bike Challenge just ended midnight last night. I've been tallying up the results and stats.

248 riders registered
160 active participants
126 riders earned > 500 points
23 riders rode > 100 days
Total miles logged 136,864
850 miles/rider on average
111 men
62 women

The two main teams in town were the Charlotte Spokes People and the Queen City Bicycles / Crank Mafia. The two teams made for some fierce competition and some smack talk. But it was all in fun. The two teams are ranked #4 (QCB/CM) and #14 (CSP) in the national challenge when you look at the teams in the 50-99 team size range. Great job done by all riders!

Here's a chart of the Top 30 riders for the whole challenge through last night. Top Men's rider was Rufioo and Top Women's rider was Bethanie.

Thanks for riding. See you out there.
