National Bike Challenge 2014

Kinda slow on the delivery from what I hear. It wouldn’t hurt to check with them. I didn’t get even get an email when our team won last year (medium size team). I had to contact them to arrange for the delivery of our award. Meanwhile, Jason O Mahoney captain of Gainesville Cycle Club (wining large size team) was invited to their K street office for photo op and presentation of a NBC jersey. :rolleyes:

Last day.

Kudos to all, especially your diamond folks. I’m going to miss Diamond by a pretty clear 800ish odd points. Bah. Although it’s on me as I did like almost 0 weekend riding this time around and didn’t ride at all when I was on work travel like i did in BAFSS. Also, congrats to all the prize winners.

Looks like our All Stars will place a solid third. However, as far as points per rider, we dominated the field. At 3188. Gainesville is at 2492. So I would deem us all still the winners. Plus we have hills.

me too! I wasn’t expecting too after having to take 3 weeks off due to illness and then moving, but I came in right under the wire. Maybe next year if I can get through the summer without a 3 week vertigo spell I’ll make diamond.

Of course, if they don’t actually send me the shorts, have I really won anything? I’m going to have to follow up on this tomorrow. I responded to their email and verified address info, but nothing has been delivered to my door.

It took a while for me to get my July pair. Have faith; it will come.
I got an email yesterday telling me that they did not have my size and would I take an inferior prize instead (inferior meaning they offered me Bronze and Silver prizes, even though the shorts were Gold). I suggested they offer me a jersey. We’ll see what they say.

Right behind you. I only need about 165. See you out there!

I got an email yesterday, too! They said they were out of shorts in my size, but would I like some socks or a magnet? I think I’ll follow your strategy and ask for a jersey. I could really use another long-sleeve jersey.

September prizes are up, and it’s official: I didn’t win anything all season. There are several local winners, though.

I won a bike magnet! I think that’s one step up from a year’s supply of toilet paper.

I’d get more use out of the TP.:o
