The 2010 Season Challenge begins on November 1st, 2009
You may now submit your sessions on-line

Indoor Centuries
Riders participating in the UMCA Mileage Challenge Year-Rounder may ride an indoor "century" (six hours). Riders may ride up to twelve a year (viz., enough to qualify for the Larry Schwartz award). Riders must follow the rules of the Indooor Challenge. Indoor centuries are submitted in the normal way as Personal rides, or as Organized if ridden as part of an organized indoor event, publicized as per the Y-R rules.
Year-Rounder Submissions

For credit in the Indoor Challenge you must submit the ride separately to Dave Watkins.

Submit your indoor sessions on-line!
Use the   Indoor Submissions Form.   There you will create your own login and password account. You will be able to view all of your sessions submitted year to date, and also submit new sessions. Submitted sessions will go through a verification process before they show up on the standings page. The verification process ensures that the submission came from a valid indoor participant and not a creative individual trying to hack the database.

Let us know what you are up to while you are cycling indoors. We will post your stories, what equipment you use, what you watch or listen to while you work out, or what the weather is like outside. Don't forget to fill in the Rider Notes field when submitting your sessions on-line!
