We want to see you riding! Everyone should feel welcome to participate, no matter what your skill level or experience. Whether climbing a mountain pass or your local hill on the commute home, every kilometer counts - no matter the elevation gain (but we’ll be keeping track ;)
We want to identify who is riding, what discipline, and where on our planet. Bikes are universal and we’re always curious where people ride and why.
To complete the challenge, you must log at least 100 kilometers per week minimum (~62 miles). All participants who meet this minimum will be acknowledged with a commemorative NFT. We will have additional prizes for winners across 3 categories of participants who log the most kilometers: Men, Women, and Non-binary riders. Of course, we will have something special for one person who goes the highest (achieves the most elevation gain).
Higher Cycling Challenge #1 is active NOW through Sunday July 7th.
The challenge will run for 3 weeks (Monday, June 17th - Sunday July 7th)
How to officially participate?
follow the /highercycling channel on Farcaster AND Join our Strava club
archive / record your activities as usual on Strava.
At the end of each week, you should attest your rides to the /receipts platform*, mint your week-to-date summary, and cast it to the /highercycling channel.
Along with your week-to-date cast, you must share 1 or 2 photos highlights from your week plus a sentence or two for context. Your official cast must include a link to your strava profile. (Feel free to create a thread with more photos and details if you feel inspired to share, but not required).
If for some reason you cannot attest to receipts, post a screenshot from the Strava leaderboard along with you username/profile. *use of Receipts is not required, but encouraged.
The strava club has a weekly leaderboard where we will be monitoring progress.
Moving forwards, we will have our challenge criteria be dynamic to weigh different metrics, however, this first challenge is to help identify, connect, and engage our humble community of cyclists on Farcaster.
We’ll compile a summary post-challenge of our favorite rides and participants for everyone to celebrate and see where a bicycle can take you.
We’re in this for the long run, and this is your chance to participate from the very beginning of our cycling adventure on-chain. This is ground zero.
Let’s Aim Higher, together!

nice. ↑ prob won’t hit the 100k / wk with my training plan, but will still be riding.
what is your training plan looking like? We thought with 100k/62 miles it could be pretty achievable distance for most, but still challenging. 😅 🥲
it’s more duration focused as i build strength week on week…riding ~5hrs wk is getting me in the ~40mile range right now. adding another ~2hrs to hit the goal is possible, but aggressive just yet, especially with other commitments (strength, yoga, weekend paddling). for inclusivity going with 80kms / 50miles a week is still a solid commitment but maybe more achievable for non-duration focused riders? (aware it’s meant to be a challenge after all 😅) thanks for asking cooper.
Will there be another streak after /ethcc ? Like after 15/7 would definitely join!
This is a great idea. I'll be riding but not participating as the requirements violate part of my non-doxxing routine. It's ok, the riding is it's own reward.
hey Y2C! Perhaps you can create an anon Strava and start/stop many KMs away from where you live?? You can also hide/delete the map i believe (and set to hide first/last KMs. the riding in indeed it's own reward :) maybe share some photos and words!
yayy 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Would finally have to learn how to ride a bike
omg please learn to ride!! 😵we can give tips :)
Any help would be appreciated... I have basiphobia, that should be the main reason why I'm super scared ATM
omg I wished I heard about this before, will start ASAP but the 100km won't be done until next week, i'm too late for this week
I'm excited to join the challenge and share my cycling journey! 🚴♂️

yes, please join to the community! we value every ounce of effort you put in, no matter the distance :)
i’ve joined. seeded the treasury. here for the journey. ↑
On first read of this cover image I took in ‘Higher Recycling’ and thought, “What!? That’s dope”. Then as I read further and got to “climbing a mountain by pass” slightly confused, I looked back and saw “CYCLING” 😂 In any case, I am in full support of both initiates. Just need to find someone to champion the RE-cycling challenge now lol
so funny! 🤣 there's this crew in Mexico City that is called 'bike recycling' and they gather plastic on their bikes. I want to be like them so you just gave me an idea!!! hahaha love it! later we could plan the recycling championship for sure :)
Can't wait to join the challenge and push my limits! 🚴♂️💪
