LOS ANGELES WHEELMEN
CENTURY OF THE MONTH CHALLENGE

For 2008, the Los Angeles Wheelmen Century of the Month Challenge extends two challenges to its members:

  • First, as in past years, to ride at least one century each month of the year.
  • Second, (new this year) to simply see how many centuries you can ride during the year, regardless of month.

We have made changes this year, both in the types of centuries which qualify for the challenge and in the record keeping for participants in the challenge. Here are the rules for this year's Challenge:

  1. You must be a member of the LA Wheelmen to participate.
  2. A century is any ride of 90 miles or more. Doubles and brevets will count, but only as one century.
  3. Any century will count. This includes both club rides and other organized centuries such as the Solvang or Wildflower. Also, centuries ridden on your own will count.
  4. To receive credit for a century, you MUST print out this page and submit a copy of the Century Submission Form below for each century ridden. You can do this by mail or e-mail. The submission must include the "Cyclist's Oath" found on the sample form below. Centuries must be submitted within 30 days of the ride.
  5. Records will be kept of all centuries ridden each month. Awards or recognition will be given to those who ride at least one century every month, and also to those riding the most centuries in the year.
  6. Current results will be posted on this web site showing the names of participants and how many centuries they have ridden in each month. This will be updated at least each month.
  7. We may make changes to these rules as needed during the year.
