July & August Challenge Leaders

It’s time to recognize the National Bike Challenge leaders for July and August! Why both July and August? Well… due to some technical difficulties with the reporting feature we were not able to pull July’s totals until a couple a days ago, and we felt it would be unfair not to notice our July leaders. So, we’ll just double up with this month.

First things first, we want to recognize all of you in Lincoln that have logged any rides throughout the challenge. As of this morning, Lincoln is still holding strong in that #1 spot and is leading Madison, WI by over 95,000 points! With just 23 days left in the challenge, we feel that we’re in good shape to hold on to the lead, as long as all of you do not let up and keep riding and logging!

And now, let’s recognize our points leaders for July and August!

Top 5 in July – Male
1. Randy R. Reed (3,433 points)
2. Daryoush Razavian (2,244 points)
3. Randy Gibson (1,843 points)

Next up, we have all of our dedicated everyday loggers from July and August! These folks may not be putting up the most miles, but they were dedicated to logging at least one mile each day for a whole month! They definitely deserve a virtual high five and some recognition!
