HOW IT WORKS:

All Challenge participants that reside in the United States are automatically entered into the Prize Program.
You accumulate Challenge Points each day you ride.
You become eligible for prizes as soon as you reach the Bronze award level. Prizes improve as you achieve higher levels.
Prizes will be awarded based upon the total number of Challenge points you have accumulated by the end of each month.
- To ensure you receive all of your points for the month, all of your rides for each month must be entered by 11:59 pm of the last day of each month.
No more than 1 prize per participant per month
All you need to do is ride and enter your miles!

HOW CHALLENGE POINTS WORK:

Challenge Points accumulate based upon miles ridden with an additional 20 bonus points for each day that you ride.

Scoring: 1 mile = 1 challenge point

20 bonus points for each day that you ride

Example: You live 5 miles from work and bike to and from work for total of 10 miles. Each day you bike to work you will receive 10 points for miles plus 20 bonus points for a daily total of 30 points.

HOW PRIZE LEVELS WORK:

As you accumulate Challenge Points, you will achieve prize levels. This will automatically enter you in the prize drawing at that level.

Prize Level	Challenge Points to Achieve Level	Prize Drawing to be held
Bronze	50	At end of each month
Silver	150	At end of each month
Gold	500	At end of each month
Platinum	1500	At end of Challenge

It’s much easier than you think! Assume you ride 10 miles per day 3 days per week:

You will achieve Bronze level in the 1^st week (May 5, 2012)
You will achieve Silver level in the 2^nd week (May 12, 2012)
You will achieve Gold level in the 6^th week (June 9, 2012)
You will achieve Platinum level in the 17^th week (August 23, 2012)
