[HurryUpAndWait]

Here you go!

Looks like a good one:

While the world’s best professional cyclists are hammering up the bergs and bouncing over the cobblestones, Specialized and Strava challenge you to ride the cumulative distance of five of cycling’s most storied races that form the Spring Classics, adding up to a monumental total of 1,319 kilometers or 820 miles.

For those curious, here is how the math works out:

Milan-San Remo [298km]
+ Tour of Flanders [256km]
+ Paris-Roubaix [257km]
+ Liège–Bastogne–Liège [257km]
+ Amstel Gold [251km]
= 1,319 kilometers

There are milestone badges to be earned at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, so set yourself a weekly Progress Goal of 330km's (or greater) and show us what you're made of!

Signed up, I don't think I'll be getting anywhere near the 100% but I will be aiming for a minimum of 50%, which is double my usual monthly mileage.

I'm riding the Tour of Flanders at the end of the month

The 240km route? Won't count as its the day before the challenge starts! A bit harsh. Good luck though

ETA you probably don't care about the Strava challenge... Kudos on doing it.

Nope, just a virtual one on your dashboard :-(

Signed up, should hopefully finish it, but this weather is getting annoying now...

Fair point - perhaps we'll get consideration in the UK for the utterly cack weather we're having?!
