Tricycle Challenge

What: We thought it was time to bring back the Tricycle Challenge. It’s going to run for one month and there will be one tricycle location at each network for that time. We loved seeing what you accomplished in the past, let’s see what you can come up with for a month! We’re giving you the freedom to be creative and push yourself to your own limits! Customize your challenge and explore BTA, PRKR and FA NEMBA by making your way to the tricycle at each network. Hike, bike, run or crawl (human powered means)!

  • Platinum - All 3 networks in a day

  • Triple Platinum - All 3 networks in a day in all 3 weeks
