2025 MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge finishers list

The aim of the MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge is to inspire our readers to ride all year round, setting them an annual goal and smaller monthly targets along the way. If you managed to hit your targets in 2025 it's something to celebrate and be proud of.

When you've hit your target, simply email us and let us know. All we need is proof of your mileage, which can be a screen shot of your Strava profile page with your name and annual mileage clearly shown. Of course we'll accept all other ride logging sites or apps, as well as spreadsheets and even the good old CW mileage charts. Printed in the pages of the first issue of CW each year since the 1920s

Once you've completed the distance, you can order your exclusive 2025 finishers medal to hang round your neck, or display in your pain cave. Anywhere people can see it.

And don't forget, it's never to late to sign up to any of our challenges and increase your mileage. Sign up is completely free and gives you access to a private Facebook group and you'll receive updates and emails with your monthly challenges.
