The January Challenge
Welcome to the January Cycling Club Challenge!
January can be one of the toughest months for cyclists — cold weather, shorter days, and motivation can all make it challenging to get out there and ride. But we’re here to help you push through, have some fun, and stay active while making the most of this winter month! Whether you’re braving the outdoors, riding indoors virtually, or combining both, we can keep riding, have fun, and celebrate progress.
​
How It Works:
Every second day, we’ll present a new challenge for our Club members. Some will be outdoor rides, others virtual, and some focus on skills or photos. At the end of each challenge, share your results (photos, stats, or videos) in the comments under the specific Facebook challenge post. Don’t forget to tag the club and use the hashtag #CABCinJanuary to stay connected and track your progress!
​
Prizing will be awarded at the end of the challenge
