The indieVelo January 2024 monthly challenge includes a classic 10-mile Time Trial on the Coastal Loop Reverse and cumulative mileage totals. Results from last month's challenge are here too!
New Year! New challenge! What’s your resolution? To win both challenges, I hope! indieVelo’s monthly challenges are a great way to engage with the platform and test your fitness against your indoor fellows! A great new one this month!
Training
Training: Let’s get some miles in! All rides count (free riding, pacing, training, and racing), and your challenge is your cumulative total distance for the month.
Racing
Racing: Time for a classic! The 10-mile Time Trial. For January, it takes place on the Coastal Loop Reverse, which was tweaked to be exactly 10 miles long.
Every hour throughout the month, a special Time Trial event runs in-game, and you will find it in gold in the events tab in The Hub. You can enter as many times as you like, and your challenge is to post the fastest time you can.
Both these challenges are now active on the server, so feel free to get started straight away. Good luck, and have fun!

Driven to give back to the sport that has enriched his life with countless experiences and relationships, he founded a non-profit organization, TheDIRTDadFund. In the summer of 2022, he rode 3,900 miles from San Francisco to his “Gain Cave” on Long Island, New York, raising support for his charity.
His passion for cycling shines through in his writing, which has been featured in prominent publications like Cycling Weekly, Cycling News, road.cc, Zwift Insider, Endurance.biz, and Bicycling. In 2024, he was on-site in Abu Dhabi, covering the first live, in-person UCI Cycling Esports World Championship.
His contributions to cycling esports have not gone unnoticed, with his work cited in multiple research papers exploring this evolving discipline. He sits alongside esteemed esports scientists as a member of the Virtual Sports Research Network and contributes to groundbreaking research exploring the new frontier of virtual physical sport. Chris co-hosts The Virtual Velo Podcast, too.
