About Ride Statistics
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.
The BCI Ridership Challenge
A Challenge Hound account is required in order to participate in the BCI Ridership Challenge. You must be a current BCI member and have the current password which is emailed to members in the monthly “BCI News Alerts.”
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:
Total rides
Total miles
Total elevation
Total time in the saddle
Average Performance (an “equalizer” for those with less time to ride)
Recognition by AGE brackets and perfomance
The BCI Ridership Challenge is fun and motivating —but EACH YEAR you must opt in to be counted!
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
Engage and motivate yourself and other BCI Members!
