Like Share Widget

January 24, 2017 by mint-sk

Crush your New Year’s resolutions and get back on that bike with our February “Can You Go the Extra Mile?” Cycle Challenge!
  • The challenge will run the entire month of February.
  • No advanced sign-up is required! To participate, just sign up on the challenge posters outside of the cycle studios at both clubs.
  • If you plan to attend cycling classes at both clubs… don’t worry! Your miles from MINT Dupont and MINT Downtown will be added together!
Here’s how it works: Everyone is responsible for writing down their miles at the end of each ride. At the end of the month we will add up those miles to see who went the farthest! Miles will be recorded from each individual bike that displays total miles throughout the ride.
Prizes:
First place: $100 gift certificate for L’Enfant Cafe
Second place: $50 gift certificate to Lapis
Third place: $25 gift certificate to The Blaguard
See you on the bike!
