GET READY FOR THE BASE MILE BLAST

Resolutions abound at this time of year, and what better way to keep them than a new Strava Challenge?  Accumulate as many miles as possible from January 6-31 with the Base Mile Blast.  Join the challenge for cyclists or the challenge for runners, or if you’re feeling really ambitious, try your hand at both.  It may be winter, but that doesn’t mean you have to slow down.  Set your personal goal and see how you stack up – now is the time to build your foundation!  Surprises are in store for our most dedicated athletes.

We are excited to be transitioning our event format to a new Strava Challenges format for 2012, retiring Strava Events from the Explore section of Strava. New challenges, including mileage-, elevation-, segment-based and more, will be introduced all year long to keep runners and riders alike engaged in healthy competition.

KUDOS TO ALL KOM CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS

Congratulations to everyone who pushed themselves to the limit in the 2011 Studio Velo KOM Challenge.  Check out our full recap here.  Here’s to a great year of training ahead!
