SHASTA BIKE MONTH & CHALLENGE
2026 Shasta Bike Challenge – May 1-31
Ride your bike this May with the Bike Month Challenge! The more you ride, the greater the chances of winning. There are many ways to participate and win!
Here is how it works:
🚲 Register for the challenge at http://lovetoride.net/shasta
✍️ Log your rides through the Love to Ride App, Strava, MapMyFitness, Garmin.Connect, or manually on the Love to Ride website.
💚 Gain entries to prize drawings by logging rides and encouraging others to ride. Each bike trip you log gives you entries into weekly and final prize drawings.
🏢 Workplaces compete for points against other workplaces of similar size!
👨👩👧👦 Get your family and friends involved by creating a group and competing with other groups of similar sizes for the most bike trips during May.
📲 Download the FREE Love to Ride app – set goals, rate routes, check street ratings, and auto-log rides to never miss a ride! You can also connect your Love to Ride profile to another logging app like Strava, MapMyFitness, Garmin.Connect, or log rides manually on the Love to Ride website.
It doesn’t matter how far you go, every ride counts. Whether it’s a quick spin around the block or a longer commute, every time you ride and log it, you’re entered into drawings to win great prizes.
Ready to join us? Sign up at lovetoride.net or download the app and let’s make the most of spring—one ride at a time!🚴♀️☀️
Be a Citizen Scientist! Download the Love to Ride app & contribute to better cycling in Shasta County
By downloading the Love to Ride app, enjoying bike rides, and rating your route on how comfortable it was for you after each ride, you’ll contribute anonymous data that can make our community better for bicycling! This anonymous data is shared with transportation agencies to show where people are riding and where they feel comfortable and uncomfortable. See how this is possible by watching this 2.5-minute video from Love to Ride.
Avid Strava user? That’s great! You can still help to make our roads more bike-friendly by also using the Love to Ride App. Even if you have both apps running during the challenge, they are designed not to double log rides. You can connect to both and be a citizen scientist! Auto-logging with the Love to Ride App helps to catch those shorter bike trips that you might not remember to start/stop, but they still help paint a picture of how our residents are getting around by bike!
