WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE?
Every rider starts at 0m with the first milestone being the minimum a rider must achieve in order to earn their event jersey, each challenge varies to keep it interesting. If you don't reach this point then you won't receive your jersey. It feels so much better when you earn it!
The second milestone of the climb is somewhere in between the first and the final peak, it isn't for the faint hearted. When riders go for this one they are entering serious climber territory. Riders who make it to here will receive their jersey plus 2 bonus entries into the Major Prize draw.
And the final milestone of the climb is reaching the peak which is the ultimate test of climbing ability. Riders who make to the top will receive their jersey plus 6 bonus entries into the major prize draw plus go into a bonus draw to win a $200 voucher to use on their next purchase at carbonmafia.net.
Each monthly challenge has its own unique jersey design so you can collect all 4!
Plus, any rider who commits early by entering THE ALTITUDE CHALLENGE (all 4 challenges) and makes all 4 peaks in their given months will receive a bonus GOAT cycling kit including a jersey and bib shorts. Just to be 100% clear, that's 4 jerseys plus the GOAT jersey and bib shorts.
