CW5000 January Challenges

CYCLING WEEKLY

|

January 07, 2021

Welcome back, and welcome to the first of your 2021 challenges. Once again, well done to everyone who hit the 5,000-mile mark last year. We had lots of you contacting us to tell us you’d completed it right up until the end of December. We’re still working through the emails and updating the finishers’ list on the website.

CW5000 January Challenges

We’ve been amazed at how many people hit the target, approaching 1,000 people at the time of going to press.

Thanks to all of you who sent messages to say how the challenge had motivated and inspired you to ride through 2020 and all the difficulties that the year threw at us. Turn to page 24 to read more on how the CW5000 helped some of you ride further.
