Log Your Cycling

You can start logging your cycling and setting yourself cycling goals as soon as you have registered. If you are not sure how many miles you have cycled, here are some guidelines (based on solo riders on mixed terrain):

  • Beginner, short distance (10-15 miles): average speed 12 mph - 1 mile in 5 mins.
  • More experienced, short-medium distance (20-30 miles): average speed 15-16 mph - 1 mile in 4 mins.
  • Reasonable experience, medium distance (40 miles): average speed 16-19 mph - 1 mile in 3.5 mins.
  • Very experienced, medium-long distance (50-60 miles): average speed 20-24 mph - 1 mile in 2.5 mins.
Or if you are not sure how far you've travelled, you can map your bike ride using Mapometer.com. It's a site providing cyclists with an easy way to measure the distance of their rides using Google maps. Go to mapometer.com.

Once you have logged a trip, your 'My Profile' page will keep you up to date with how much CO2 you're saving and how many calories you're burning by cycling!

Only cycling that is logged during the Challenge period will count towards your team's score in the Challenge.

No Internet Access

Don't worry if your staff don't have internet access - they can still take part in the Challenge! Just get in touch with the Challenge Co-ordinator, for copies of the Registration Form. These can be completed and returned via Freepost.

Last Day to Log Cycling

You have until two days following the end of the Challenge to log any cycling on this website from the Challenge. You can also register yourself into the Challenge up until this point if you haven't done so already.

If you are logging cycling on the hard copy Registration Form, this must be returned on or before the day after the end of the Challenge.

After the Challenge

Feel free to continue logging your cycle trips on this website. It's a great tool for you to keep a record of your achievements and progress beyond the Challenge.
