What if I’m not fast?
No worries, raffle winners will be chosen from all who participate and share their stories. The more routes you ride and share = the more likely you are to win a prize from one of our rad event sponsors: Specialized Bicycles, Gore Wear, Skratch Labs, AltRed, Abus Cycling, Channell Designs, RoughRoad 100 and Ride Spot by People for Bikes.

  • One route complete = one raffle ticket (if not on Strava, please send me a link to your ride).
  • One route recap posted on RideSpot.org = one raffle ticket (please send me a link to each recap you create).
  • Up to 8 raffle tickets per person for the whole series if you complete .

How do I register?

You MUST do the following:

  1. SIGN A WAIVER
  2. Purchase a $20 gift card from a local bike shop of YOUR choice to be eligible for prizes… then message me proof of purchase, signed waiver, tell me your Strava name if it’s different than your IRL name, then… boom, you are in.
