Order your Big Ride Challenge finisher's medal
If you've completed your chosen distance in 2024, now's the time to celebrate and order your medal!
Our CW Big Ride Challenge finisher's medals are now ready to order, that means it's time to celebrate your 2024 riding achievements with an environmentally friendly souvenir that will serve as a reminder of how far you rode in 2024.
Once you've completed your chosen distance simply email us with proof of your mileage so we can add you to our finisher's list. Then you can order your medal!
There are four medals available, one for each of our challenges. Each one costs £8.99 and include UK postage and packaging. International delivery is a little more and varies by country. If you can't find your country on the list, please contact us to let us know.
All medals are made of wood to help lower our environmental impact and come with a double satin ribbon. You'll also receive a certificate signed by the editor, with fields for you to fill out your name and the date you completed the challenge. If you want more people to know about your riding in 2024, you can also order a Big Ride Challenge t-shirt.

It's never too late to sign up to the Big Ride Challenge. No matter when you join, all your miles ridden from January 1 count toward your total - so you may have already completed several of these challenges.
If you haven't, then there's still plenty of time to get your miles done. Every year there are lots of riders completing the distance on December 31. They say 'just in time', we say 'perfectly paced!' This is a personal challenge and all miles count, including indoor miles on a smart trainer or bike, and miles covered on e-bikes.
And to make it more inclusive you're allowed to change the challenge you've signed up to at any point. We've already had lots of riders doing just that, so if you think you won't reach your target, or you're going to go on to ride further than you thought, simply let us know and we'll update your preferences.
Every month, all our riders get two smaller monthly challenges to take on. From daily or weekly totals, to discovering new roads, they're aimed at inspiring everyone to get out and ride, no matter how many miles they have or haven't ridden.
Sign up to the CW Big Ride Challenge for free, and get inspired to ride in 2024.
