🏆 THE RACE IS ON! Introducing the 2026 Midstream Cycles Challenge Series! 🚴♂️💨
You guys brought the heat in Fit Feb (a huge thanks to for sponsoring!) and crushed the climbs in the April Ascent (massive shoutout to for the epic support!). The competition has been so fierce that we’ve officially turned this into a four-part championship series to crown the ultimate all-around rider of 2026!
📊 HOW IT WORKS:
Consistency is key! The top 20 riders in each of our 4 challenges score points on a linear scale (1st place gets 20 pts, down to 20th place getting 1 pt). The rider with the most accumulated points at the end of the year takes the crown.
🔥 CURRENT STANDINGS (After 2 Events):
Werner Wiese is currently leading the pack with 34 points, closely chased by Wynand Muller (33 pts) and Hanfred Wichmann (28 pts). But with two events left, it is still anyone’s game!

🥶 UP NEXT: The Garmin Winter Indoor Challenge (July)
When the winter chill hits, we are taking it inside. The rider who logs the most time on an indoor trainer during the month of July will win a Garmin Varia RL515! Time to dust off those smart trainers and get your setups ready. 🔌💦
🚀 THE FINALE: The Spring Segment Challenge (October)
Pure speed. We will announce a specific local segment, and the fastest times will take the final points of the year.
🎁 THE GRAND PRIZE:
The overall series champion across all four events will ride away with a brand new Edge 850!
