Thanks Everyone for joining the February Cycling challenge “Love Your Bike and the Medal ceremony on 14th March.
February Cycling Challenge was kept very simple so that maximum participants can complete, stay consistent, show their love for the bike and health too.
Rule was to complete 14 days, 14 km minimum per day and 140 Km Max per day to qualify for the medal.
Most of the rider in top list were consistent and new riders got good opportunity to rank high due to the rule.
The most exciting day of the challenge was 14th Feb “The photography day”, Participants did show their love for the bike and sent us very beautiful pictures, obviously it was very difficult to choose top 3 so we posted in EVO page and promoted for likes. We got awesome response from everyone.
