The National Bike Challenge 2021 is in the books. Lincoln clinched top place in our category once again with a collective 458,503 in the 150-400k residents category. We didn’t have a local leaderboard this year, (blame it on the pandemic) so it was harder to know where riders ranked locally during the challenge. That didn’t stop us from getting out there and defending our crown. Here are the top ten riders in each category. For a full list go to Love To Ride. And don’t forget about the end of challenge party this Friday from 5-7 at Zipline Brewing, 2100 Magnum Circle, Ste 1.
