This virus situation is a stark contrast to just a month ago when we held what would be the final Winter Warrior Challenge ride of the season. I am really missing the comraderie and adventures. And the prize drawings. Let's face it, it was really cool to win a pint glass with the blue bearded face of one of my favorite dudes on it. Speaking of Justin, he and I are offering up a challenge to you all with a weekly prize drawing. We want to encourage folks to ride safely, avoiding COVID-19, and help to avoid the COVID-19 pound weight gain. Each Friday I'll post the challenge of the week. Complete the challenge and take a selfie as proof (rules below). Winner will be announced on the following Sunday morning.
For the folks who are sheltering in place or self-isolating, indoor rides count too. Take a selfie on your trainer wearing a mask and helmet.
The first challenge is predictable: Ride to a bike shop. The more bike shops you visit, the more entries you earn. Justin has some Fabric goodies as the first weekly prize.
Here are the rules:
1. Ride alone or with a housemate.
2. Take a selfie at one or more of the landmarks for the week.
3. You must be wearing a mask or other face covering with your bike and the landmark in the background.
4. Each selfie at an additional landmark counts as an additional entry for the week.
5. Share publicly to Facebook or Instagram with #ridesafe419. If not on social media, send your selfie to ridesafe419@gmail.com.
6. Winner will be drawn on the following Sunday morning.
Please share with friends or anyone you know who is not on social media. Ride safe, ride alone while riding together, and always have fun!
You can earn additional entries if there is something notable about your ride (like riding in the rain or at night) or by paying it forward by purchasing a gift card or donating a prize for the following week. Hooking us up with local businesses that would like to participate gets you an entry as well.
Please share with friends or anyone you know who is not on social media. Ride safe, ride alone while riding together, and always have fun!
