"Live your life by a Compass, not a Clock"  ~Steven Covey

This year's theme is "It's the Journey."

Introduction

THESE CHALLENGE RIDE EVENTS ARE OPEN TO ANYONE REGARDLESS OF GENDER OR AFFILIATION.  ALL Bikes and Riders are welcome to join the challenge. You do not need to be a part of the Warrior Angel Riders.  Members of the Warrior Angel Riders sponsor, design, and create these challenges for you to enjoy.

There are two different Challenge Ride Events that take you for a tour of our beautiful state of Washington.

• N'Usual to Pekuliar has 15 locations that are located around the state of Washington.   

• The Quirky Quicky has 25 locations to visit. Each location is around a 3-hour round trip ride give or take from Eagle Leather in Tacoma. It doesn't matter where your starting point is. What matters is that you enjoy the journey.

There is a $25 fee to join each event, which covers postage, materials, promotional materials, and other items for the luncheon. This is set up for you to enjoy the open road and discover varying locations throughout the state of Washington that you may have not known about.

There will be a Luncheon to celebrate everyone’s accomplishments and just have a good time to meet each other and share stories. The information will be emailed to you and will also be posted on the “WAR Spring/Summer Challenge Ride” Facebook page and the @warchallengeride Instagram account as it gets closer to September. Feel free to invite your family and friends. The more the merrier!

Length of Challenge

Starts on the First Day of Spring, March 20th, 2023, and goes until the Last Day of Summer on September 22, 2023.

Game Rules

This is NOT a contest to see who finishes first or last. This challenge event accepts ALL photo entries between March 20th to September 22nd, 2023.

Visit as many of the destinations and take a photo. The photo must include the following:

o   The listed location.

o   Yourself holding your numbered placard.

o   Your bike.

NOTE: The difference this year is you will be provided one placard number if you join both Challenge Rides. We have found that having two separate numbers caused some confusion last season to where some riders had to go back to the same location because they used the wrong placard.  This change is advantageous for you to have one placard to make it easier when you visit a location.

Submit your destination photo to scratch it off your list.

o   There are two methods of submitting your photo entry. Either method is acceptable.

• Fill out the form at https://www.warchallengeride.com/uploadphotos and upload your destination photo keeping in mind the rules above. (This link will be available starting on March 20th)

• Email your photo as an attachment to admin@warchallengeride.com or warachallengeride@gmail.com with the subject line of the Challenge Ride Event name and your assigned number. 

  • • In the body of the email include the location and any stories, challenges, or comments about the location and/or your ride.  We’d love to hear about it!

Note: Your photos, stories, challenges, and/or comments may be shared in the "WAR Spring/Summer Challenge Ride" Facebook group and/or the @warchallengeride Instagram account.  Please don’t let this deter you from sharing. This helps bring more excitement to the challenge and brings notoriety to your accomplishments. 

This year's prizes for each Challenge Ride:

1st Place Winner will receive $100

2nd Place Winner will receive $50

3rd Place Winner will receive $25. 

You do not need to be present to win the above prizes. Non-monetary prizes need to be present to win.

Have fun and ride safe! We will see everyone at the Awards Luncheon in October!
