Even with all the restrictions in place to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus, we can still at the moment get outdoors for rides, either solo or one or two known friends. Known, meaning, you are confident they haven't been around someone infected. BE SMART ABOUT THIS! How about a little contest for you to consider while planning your routes and rides? We'll run this first round through the end of May, so get out there and please have some fun, break away from all the news and smile a bit!
This is a contest for positive fun and to keep us occupied and engaged and on the bike. Anyone that tries this is a winner. Show us your stuff!

ALPHABET BONUS CHALLENGE
There are no mileage or climbing limits, but do a route that spells out a word/phrase or draws a picture of something near and dear to your heart. You've seen Joel's STCC route or one of the local's routes that looks like the State of Texas.
Be creative. Keep it clean and we'll hang it on the fridge for all to see. Have some fun. Again, this is mainly for boasting rights.
