What is this challenge?

We all love to overindulge during the festive period and the short days and long nights make it all the more difficult to get some exercise. This challenge is here to give you some motivation to squeeze some enjoyable exercise in to your busy festive schedule. We will also change some lives in the developing world along the way!

How many Kilo(meter)s can you gain between Christmas eve and New Year's eve?

We'll be keeping track of how well everyone is doing by using a Strava challenge.
This will allow you to see how everybody else is doing too.
Although the aim of the game is to try to collect the most kilometers, prizes this year will be awarded every day for the person judged to have had best adventure of the day. 
​Any activity you do on Strava will count, be it skiing, indoor cycling or outdoor swimming!

Entry to this challenge will cost you a donation to World Bicycle Relief. Any donation will count but we thought you might like to know that a new bike to change a life in the developing world costs CHF 155 😉

• Spot prizes will be offered every day for the best adventure of the day. See below for details.
• "Special mention" bonus prizes (water bottles, t-shirts etc.) every day from CDL and World Bike Relief.

Why are we doing this?
World Bicycle Relief is literally a life-changing charity. They provide their bespoke Buffalo bikes to communities in the developing world. These bikes have led to:

• Increased attendance at school (especially for girls)
• Improved academic performance
• Increased delivery of medicines and health care
• Increased access to distant markets
• Increased income for farmers and entrepreneurs

Every CHF 155 we earn will provide a bike to somebody in need in the developing world.
​What a wonderful gift to give over this festive period!
