Completed Riders in the 2025 MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge
The MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge is back for 2025, inviting cyclists of all levels to participate in four exciting categories: Mini, Midi, Maxi, and the CW5000. This annual event, which began in 2020, aims to inspire riders to pedal all year round and reach their cycling goals.
To become a finisher, you need to complete the total mileage required for your chosen challenge within the year. The distances are as follows:
- Mini: 500 miles
- Midi: 1,000 miles
- Maxi: 2,500 miles
- CW5000: 5,000 miles
Once you reach your target mileage, email the organizers with proof of your total distance. Accepted proof includes a screenshot of your Strava profile page showing your name and annual mileage clearly, data from any other ride-logging sites or apps, spreadsheets, or even Cycling Weekly mileage charts. It's important to note that individual ride logs are not required; cumulative annual mileage evidence is sufficient.
The CW5000 challenge, which requires riders to have ridden 5,000 miles in 2025 to get their names listed, has seen some impressive finishers. Among them is Alex Graham, who has completed the CW5000 challenge six years running.
The Maxi challenge in 2025 has been completed by a group of dedicated riders, including Mark Pritchard, Hugh Mulligan, Michael Padwick, Justin Lomas, Kevin Palmer, John Binczyk, Stepe Fletcher, Dave Cox, Gari Jones, Andy Cartlidge, Ian Udell-Hart, Martin Power, and Simon Hickman.
The Mini challenge in 2025 has seen a finish from Justin Payne.
Once your proof is confirmed, your name will be listed as a finisher, and you will be notified when medals become available for order. These finisher medals, a tradition since the first issue of Cycling Weekly, serve as a testament to your achievement.
If you're ready to take on the challenge, sign up for free at any time during the year to join the event and gain access to related updates and a private Facebook group. The MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge is more than just a cycling event; it's a community of riders inspiring each other to pedal further, ride stronger, and achieve their cycling dreams. So, gear up, and let's ride!
Participating in the MyWhoosh Big Ride Challenge, which invites cyclists of all levels, allows you to choose from four categories: Mini, Midi, Maxi, and the CW5000. To become a finisher in any category, you need to complete the total mileage required for your chosen challenge within the year.
