ULRMBC - Strava Challenge
(virtual)
"From January 5th to January 12th, we're doing a Strava challenge to see who can ride the furthest or climb the highest in just one week. The goal is simple: cycle as many kilometres as possible and/or conquer as much elevation gain as you can. From road cyclists to mountain bikers, all riders are welcome to take part. At the end of the week, there will be two champions crowned, each of which will get a prize. Link to the Strava Club: https://www.strava.com/clubs/ulrmbcTo be counted, you must join the Strava group. Not in Strava group = no results. Best of luck! "
