Ridership Challenge / Stats

For many years, BCI’s elected Statistician crunched raw data gathered from sign-in sheets to compile members’ ride statistics. Poor handwriting, partially filled out forms, and human error made this a slow, laborious, and error-prone process. During Covid, sign-in sheets were eliminated, and the club decided to gather ride statistics electronically.

Before you can join or opt-in each year, you’ll be directed to the password protect page.

About Ride Statistics

We track the following annual metrics from all your rides, not only BCI club rides. At the end of each year we will issue award certificates for the top rider in these categories:

  • Age group

  • Gender

  • Rides

  • Distance

  • Elevation

  • Total time in the saddle

  • Average Performance (an “equalizer” for those with less time to ride)

The BCI Ridership Challenge is fun and motivating —Log into your ChallengeHound account and opt in EACH YEAR. You must opt in EACH YEAR to be counted!

It’s never too late to join. You can back date your rides to January 1st.

NOTE: When BCI went “electronic” with ride statistics, STRAVA was the app of choice. After 6 years, Strava is no longer serving new Challenge Hound users.
The good news is that Challenge Hound has several other good alternatives.
There is even a work-a-round from STRAVA to Challenge Hound via Apple Health

View the live ridership challenge leaderboard

The leaderboard has all of the stats from the challenges starting in 2023 on one consolidated dashboard. The dashboard can be filtered by age group and gender, as well as sorted by desired metric. Top 3 in each category are labeled with a gold/silver/bronze medal icon. As an added bonus, you can also see your stats in imperial or metric. Other enhancements have been made, so be sure to check them out!

2026 is the active challenge, and is refreshed every night.

2022 is still available via the button below.
