Riders Challenge 2026

Challenge Dates: 03/1/2026-12/31/2026
This year the 2026 Riders Challenge has a small town theme. As with previous years
there are several sections, which enables several winners.
Challenge #1 is a nine month long scavenger hunt. A list of items from A-Z is provided
for you. Only 26 items are needed, but some may be a bit more difficult than others.
What do you do once an item is located? Submit a pic of your bike with the item. Some
items are signs containing the specific word. If it does not say “sign” in the listing you
need to get a pic of the bike with the actual item or with an image of the item in the pic.
For example, if the item is “Chicken”, the pic must contain either the bike with a real
chicken, or a wooden cutout/painting/image of some type. If the item was “Chicken
Sign”, the pic must contain the bike with a sign containing the word “Chicken”.
Labeling pics with information of what the pic is of, will be very helpful when submitting
them.
Submit the pics to the administrator along with the following info:
Your Name
What item is on the pic.

** NEW FOR 2026 ** Bonus Pics
Bonus pics may be submitted for more than one example provided of each item.
Example: two pics of different Fire Trucks, three pics of different elderly people waving,
etc. Refer to Tie Breaker info below for clarification on bonus pic weighting for tie
breakers.

Any ties will be broken as follows:
For Prize Challenge #1, the first tie breaker will be determined by submission of
the most items. Primary criteria is for all items A-Z. If a tie exists in A-Z
submissions, an additional point will be awarded for each qualified bonus pic per
with deference given to A-Z individual submissions. For example, if two winners
each submit 10 bonus pics, but one has 10 pics of only Fire Trucks, the individual
with the greater number of different letter categories is the winner. If there is still
a tie, the winner will be determined by which person has the highest number of
miles ridden in 2026 based upon the submissions for the 2026 Highest Mileage
Contest.
Tiebreaker for Challenge #3 and Best Creative Pic, is determined by which of the
category winners has the highest miles as submitted for Challenge #2.
