Here are your 2025 MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge goals for September!

On the first day of each month we set our MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge riders two extra challenges to take on. These vary every month, depending on the seasons and where a typical riders's fitness is at that time of year.

They're easy to complete if you ride regularly, and most of them can be done on indoor trainers using training apps including MyWhoosh, as well as out on the road. Some challenges will focus on distance, or altitude gained, others on searching out new places to ride. They're designed to be a bit of fun, and keep everyone motivated through the year, no matter what annual total they're aiming for.

Well done to all those who made it to the coast or body of water in August. Big Ride Challenge riders made it to the sea in France, the Netherlands, Essex, Scarborough and the J Percy Priest Reservoir in Tennessee. Plus some rather depleted reservoirs in the UK thanks to a long, dry summer this year.

But we have to face facts, August is over and September 1st has that distinct back-to-school, summer-is-over vibe. However, there’s no need for our riding to slow down. Any change in season is a great time to ride, just be sure to keep an eye on the weather forecast, and remember you might need an extra layer and some lights by the end of the month.

Your September challenges are below, as we aim to keep inspiring you to ride right through to the end of the year!

Sign up to the MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge and choose one of the four distance goals - 500, 1000, 2500 0r 5000 miles

Previous Months' Challenges

In July all four groups had the same two challenges plus we introduced a new bonus challenge!.

The Mini, Midi, Maxi & CW5000

1. Complete a ride the same distance as a Tour de France stage
2. Ride across a border

Bonus challenge!
Now we've teamed up with MyWhoosh we'll be setting a bonus indoor challenge each month. For July, the challenge is to join us on one of our Thursday social rides. You can find out more about the weekly ride here.

The shortest stage at the Tour this year is the stage 13 individual time trial that is just 10.9km long. The longest stage is stage 2 at 209km. You can look through all the stages on our Tour de France route page. The goal should be to get as close as you can to a stage distance, either through meticulous route planning or riding around the block until you hit the distance!

For challenge number two, a town, county, country or state border will suffice. If it's an easy challenge for you to complete, why not see how many borders you can cross in one ride? We love it when our riders get inventive. However you tackle the challenges, be sure to let us know about them in the BRC Facebook group.
