Return To Earth is a captivating film about the power of taking out attention back by riding our bikes. Watch the trailer, and go ride your bike.
On the other hand, with 1/2500 odds, Ill definitely settle for just some sick socks myself
One can dream to win I'm a chick on my 30s, broke on money, but rich in life! I get to snowboard everyday in the winter (working at a ski-hill), and now I'm mnt biking everyday, because I love it and love seeing my progression. Riding a hand-me-down... would be so sweet to win this setup that I could never afford! and see how it could help me progress riding even more!

I think a fair estimate at this point is that 30-40 riders will probably drop out per day from now on. Even at the low end with 14 days left that is an additional 420 riders that will drop out by the 30th. That puts the odds at 1 in 1,986 or ~.0005%. Not great but much better odds than the lottery.
Although I do think that the number of people quitting will go down every day. so while it is average of 40 per day now likely 10 by the end.
So likely more like 2200 left at the end.
First ride my daughter told me the wrong place for a church outing and I was 45 minutes from the closest eligible trail but got a quick ride in almost blackness. Saturday I had a gnarly stomach bug & rode puking with a skull splitting headache, 2 days ago a hailstorm 2 minutes into a sufferfest of a ride, yesterday bluff charged hard TWICE by a big momma black bear, 1 morning got to the trail in the pitch dark. We're being hit by heavy storms out of Florida & I've ridden in multiple rainstorms.
Last but not least, the closest eligible trail is a 25 minute drive so I've logged 18 hours of DRIVING to & from the trails since July 1.
Streak at 17 days uninterrupted.
If we make a simple assumption that they all would have ridden trail twice a week anyway, it suggests the contest has generated an additional 40,841 rides two weeks in. ( 58,869 - 2 rides/wk*2 weeks*4507 riders.).
What could the cost of the extra rides be? In terms of values of parts, travel and time? If we assume $25 per ride the total cost to the contestants is north of a million dollars so far for all their extra effort or about $225 each.
Is the total value of all the prizes north of a million? Are all of the individual prize packs worth more than $225 each and do all 4,507 riders get one?
Another way of saying this is that for a comparatively small prize pool value - a few thousand - this contest is getting all of it's entrants to spend an awful lot of extra time and money on trying to win it - a few million.
Hah...
I didnt even mention the big owl that swooped down at 3 different people at dusk the night between the 2 bear rides.
Critter update: The box turtle spotted on last night's ride...did NOT attack
So Sunday my bike got upset with me for whoring around on another bike...and puked its sealant & derailleur hanger at the end of the ride. Hah!!!
Back in biz today though....
Had to turn around and drive to another town 30 minutes away for last night's ride. Got home at near dark.
It's like the movie Final Destination where Fate wants to break the streak SO BAD!!!
Found out later...it was this: wlos.com/news/local/brevard-road-closed-in-both-directions-near-parkway
She was one of those angry urban "don't make me tell you again boy!" momma bears.

Thank you!
You just have to edit your ridelog and tag a trail you rode. Just watch the video in the link above.
So far rode in the morning, in the evening, at night, in rain and mud! I'm kinda proud of myself no matter the prizes
fml
I did a huge ride, but didn't quite touch the end of it on the gps, so it didn't count! Good thing I noticed right before it got too dark! and busted out a small trail by my house...lol
There should be more contests like that, I'm having a lot of fun, same none of my friends are in it.
I hope the distance/elevation doesn't count, because I only record enough for the challenge - my phone lasts minutes when pushed to do fancy stuff like that.

Very strange that they got my name wrong and seem to have given my bike to someone else! Hmmpf.
Congrats to the winners!
Sorry had to do that.
I have been pretty close to quitting a few times, had a few good falls due to chasing stava times at 11 pm on rainy nights.
Nothing like having to crawl back to your bike in the pitch black because your lights unplugged and the only light is your crummy red blinky. And you remember that there is a cougar and black bear siting sign at the trailhead.
Never won anything online, and I doubt I'd luck out this time, but if I get a T-shirt, I'd be stoked
Just few more days...
