Join the CRW Riding Contests
The Charles River Wheelers (CRW) hold exciting riding contests throughout the year to motivate riders of all levels. Whether you’re taking on the cold months of winter or looking to rack up mileage in warmer seasons, these contests are a great way to push your limits, stay active, and connect with fellow cycling enthusiasts.
Winter Riding Contest
Our Winter Riding Contest is designed to keep you riding through challenging weather. You can log:
Winners are recognized in each category, and there are often raffles that give everyone a chance at prizes—regardless of how far or how often you ride. This contest usually runs during the colder months and is a perfect way to stay motivated when outdoor conditions are less than ideal.
Other Upcoming Contests
CRW may announce additional challenges at various times of the year. Keep an eye on club communications and our website for the latest news on any special events or unique riding contests. Whether it's an altitude-based challenge or a mileage goal, you’ll be able to log all these activities right here in your CRW member profile.
