Big Ride Challenge 2024 Finishers List
From 500 to 5,000 miles, a list of everyone who has completed the CW challenge in 2024
We celebrate everyone who has hit their mileage target in 2024. From 500 to 5,000 miles, however far you rode this year, and however quickly you did it, it's something to be proud of. If and when you complete your challenge email us and let us know, all we need is proof of your mileage, which can be a screen shot of your Strava profile page with your name and annual mileage clearly shown. We'll accept all other ride logging sites or apps, spreadsheets and even CW mileage charts.
Once you've completed the challenge you can order your finishers medal from CW shop. There's a medal for each of the four challenges, and each one comes with a certificate signed by the editor.
It's never to late to sign up to any of our challenges and increase your mileage. Sign up is completely free and gives you access to a private Facebook group and you'll receive updates and emails with your monthly challenges.
