March Strava Challenge- Ski for Socks!
Congratulations to our March Challenge random draw prize winners Melissa, Doreen and Naomi. Congratulations also to the three fastest women and men who were (in order): Shauna, Arlene and Shannon, and Peter, Trent and Mike. Everyone won SPRTA socks just in time for bike season!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our Strava challenges this season, and thanks to Arlene for choosing such creative routes and organizing the event. We'll be doing it again next season starting again in December.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The March route is 15 kms long and essentially, we are just adding a piece onto the beginning and end of the February challenge. Also, because we're not having a Loppet this year, we're injecting a bit of a competitive element into this month's challenge by awarding prizes for the top 3 male and female finishers (in addition to the usual 3 random draw prizes). The challenge goes until March 31st. In order for us to see you to enter you in the draw, you must make the activity public (in the Menu for "Who Can See", click "Everyone").
Cruise it, race it, or stop for lunch along the way. Everyone who skis the route is eligible for the draw. The Segment will appear on your Strava as "SPNC March Challenge".
Here's the Route: Start at the junction of where you can either take the dog loop or Cottontail. Take the dog loop to the start of the MLT. Continue up MLT to complete the February challenge course (Dec Challenge + Jan Challenge) but instead of stopping at the end of the January challenge, continue down MLT then turn onto Black Bear. At the bottom of Black Bear, cross Vista onto the twisty part of Cottontail, and stay on Cottontail to finish at the same point as where you started.
