Hey all,

Zia Rides is putting together a fun online and ongoing “competition” that we are calling the “Solo Distancing” Games. Basically, it’s an on-going weekly competition with some sort of goal or arbitrary requirement, accomplishment, etc. The easy ones are most miles, biggest ride, most climbing, most rides, etc. But, we plan to try to be creative and have fun with it with things like best ride photo, best trail dog, best ride with the kids, etc. It's going to change every week. So who knows what we might do?

We are using all of our usual solo categories and some weeks there will be category prizes. Other weeks, the prize might go to the top overall performer for the accomplishment. Prizes will be provided by season sponsors like REI, Squirt, Giant/Liv, Osprey, Orange Seal, ESI Grips, Hammer, Cyclemania, etc. We will also throw in some Zia Rides swag and probably some free entries for big accomplishments.

Every week we are going to do updates, shout-outs, and other fun stuff. I am even bringing “The Voice” Josh Maule, our announcer along for the ride. He’ll be recording videos and hopefully making it feel like an event worth following and taking part in.

People can road ride, use a trainer, or, mtb, and compete from anywhere in the world. It’s not a race, because we want you to be safe out there. The goal is to keep people riding and motivated during all of this craziness while also having fun.

We are only going to charge $20 for it, and you only sign up once because it will be ongoing competition until we can start holding events again. So, once you are in, that's it.
