Celebrating athletic achievement that betters ourselves, our teammates, and our community.
SBCA's Annual Mileage Challenge is still ongoing and we would love to hear how your journey is going. Reach out to us and let us know. To complete this challenge all you will have to do is prove your 2021 millage from Strava (or whatever online training program you use). And this year, for the first time, you can also contribute to your millage totals with all of your 2021 SBC $ receipts. (1$ spent at SBC = I mile towards your annual goal/challenge.) Please see below for the 2021 millage goals.
Riding:10,000 miles
Running: 2,500 miles
Hiking: 750 miles
Swimming: 625 miles
Frustrated there is never a Multisport/triathlon option? Fear not. We have you covered too. For you - a score of 2,500 is the goal. (You’ll also need a Ph.D. in math to figure this out. Towards your total score of 2,500, you will be allowed to apply the following credits: SBC $’s are worth one point. Each running mile is worth one point. Each riding mile is worth 0.25 points. Each swimming mile is worth 4 points. (Hiking not included.) Add these towards your total accumulated point score/goal to reach 2,500. (Also – if you don’t understand this challenge – you are not eligible to participate in it, and you should see the riding, running, hiking, and swimming challenges above, instead 🙂 .)
Your ride/run training program just got a little bit more competitive with the SBCA Segment Challenge (riding and running). Have a favorite segment that you would like to see in the challenge? Message it to the team page, and we’ll take a look. Segment requirements include no stop signs, it must be challenging, and around five (or more) minutes long. Also, NO motor/e-bike power of any kind, but non-powered/e-bike leadouts/team efforts are permitted. So grab some friends and go smash that thing!
Many of you have asked for the team store to be extended so the team store will be open July 9th – July 23rd. The estimated ship date is September 6th. Link to teams store here
This Thursday is the last Poker Run of the year! If you have not made it out to this run make sure you go to it this week because you will not be disappointed. The runner with the best poker hand wins a 6-pack of Finish Line.
We are needing volunteers to help with a youth bike maintenance class at the Fairbanks Bike Shop. This is a great way to give back to the community and youth in the area. Please reach out to Stephanie Snow ( Stephs090386@gmail.com ) or Jason Stratton ( jason@blackriverimaging.com ) if you can help.
Is anyone going to Ragbrai in Iowa this year? We may have some beer that needs to be transported there. Plus, there may be some beer in it for you. Please email stephs090386@gmail.com if you have you will be going to Ragbrai.

We still struggle with getting results reported. If you PR'd, finished something big, just crossed a milestone, meeting a goal, and especially if you podiumed, we all want to hear about it. You can email stephs090386@gmail.com. This helps to get the results reported on time.
