Happy Christmas Eve and welcome to the preview of the Waldy Challenge 2025.
For the 2025 challenge I’m going to try to build on the success of the 2024 edition but tweak the things that didn’t work as well as I expected.
As usual points will be awarded for each month's challenge with achievement level points set by the Challenge Master and the coaching team.
There are also monthly bonus points awarded for the fastest, fittest, strongest, highest - etc depending on the challenge.
There will be 11 2025 challenges:
January - Climbing - Let's burn off the Xmas excess
February - Distance - As the days start to stretch let's get the K’s in.
March - Consistency - How much distance can you cover in 7 days?
April - Hit those Hills - See which local hills really are alive with the sound of music.
May - Sprint - How fast are those legs after the tour?
June - Navigation - Lets get out and see some scenic locations
July - TDF - Winning big requires riding far and climbing high
August - Time trial - Take part in the Official Waldy TT or go it alone!
September - Local Legend - How many times can you go round Richmond Park?
October - Hill Climb - The 1st edition of the Balfour-Jenner hill climb
November - Commitment - It’s all about getting out there as often as possible.
PLUS we have ongoing Waldy Challenge bonus points. These can be claimed anytime from January 1st to November 30th, 2025 and awarded for things such as doing your first sportive or encouraging a friend to join. These are claimed on an honour basis by adding them here.
Look out for a new bonus category - total distance ridden in the 11 months of the challenge.
To qualify rides must be uploaded to Starva and you’ll need to be a member of the Waldy Wheelers Strava club with your activities visible to any club member who requests to follow you.
Please ensure you have submitted your monthly points to the Challenge Master by midnight on the 1st of the following month.
Look out for details of the January challenge coming your way before the end of the year.
In the meantime have a great Christmas.
