Thatu2019s how we decided to do a 30- day cycling challenge,u201d says Vedant Vinay Bambardekar, organiser, Wheels and Barrels cycling club. u201c We wanted those participating to cultivate a habit so they tend to continue cycling after the challenge,u201d he adds.
Anybody who owns a cycle and a helmet can participate and though there is a 15- km qualifier, the challenge can be taken up at the participantu2019s own pace.
There are two categories of 15 kms and 30 kms and an eightday grace period which means that you cycle for 22 days in total to achieve the target distance. u201c You can also ride at any location since progress will be tracked over apps like Strava and Map My Ride with a consolidated Excel sheet in the end,u201d Bambardekar tells us.
