WE KNOW THAT GETTING OUT AND RIDING DURING THE SHORT DAYLIGHT HOURS OF WINTER ISN’T EASY. ROAD GRIME, SLEET AND STREET LIGHTS. JUST BECAUSE IT ISN’T EASY DOESN’T MEAN IT’S NOT REWARDING THOUGH. RIDING UNDER THE STARS, QUIET ROADS, SUNRISE TO SUNSET AND THE JOY OF A MUG OF TEA WARMING THE ENDS OF NUMB FINGERS.

EVEN THE HARDIEST OF US SOMETIMES NEED A LITTLE EXTRA ENCOURAGEMENT TO BRAVE THE ELEMENTS THOUGH. THAT’S WHY WE ARE ENCOURAGING YOU TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE SHORTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR DURING THE WINTER SOLSTICE, FROM 13TH TO 22ND OF DECEMBER.

OUR CHALLENGE IS A SIMPLE ONE: RIDE A SINGLE 100 MILE RIDE ON ANY OF THOSE DAYS.

ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL WITH A RIDE SUBMISSION LINK. YOU HAVE UNTIL JAN 3RD 2025 TO SUBMIT YOUR RIDE.

ONCE YOUR RIDE IS SUBMITTED, YOU'LL THEN RECEIVE A SECOND EMAIL ASKING YOU TO REDEEM AND ORDER YOUR SOLSTICE CENTURY PATCH. IT'S THAT SIMPLE!

BY WAY OF EXTRA MOTIVATION, ALL RIDERS WHO COMPLETE OUR SOLSTICE CENTURY CHALLENGE WILL GET A FREE PATCH AND BE ENTERED INTO THE ULTIMATE WINTER CYCLING GIVEAWAY WITH PRIZES INCLUDING A FULL RESTRAP LOAD-OUT, GOREWEAR WINTER CLOTHING BUNDLE, A GOREWEAR X RESTRAP LIMITED EDITION TOOL POUCH, LIGHTS FROM EXPOSURE & A FUELLING BUNDLE FROM STYRKR.
