Checkpoint Rules

Riders can compete for prizes by taking photos of checkpoints along the routes. A list of checkpoints will be announced via email to all registered participants at 9:00 AM on Saturday December 5, 2020.

There are three ways to share your checkpoint images with Jen Billstrom (Jen@VeloGirlRides.com):

  • Email a link to your Strava ride with photos loaded and activity status set to “public” to Jen
  • Email a link to your RideWithGPS ride with photos loaded and activity status set to “public” to Jen
  • Email your photos directly to Jen (please include all photos in one email)

Bonus entries can be accumulated by posting images to social media using #PUB2020 and tagging @bookwalterbinge

Each checkpoint photo equals one entry into the prize drawing.

Each social media #PUB2020 and @bookwalterbinge tagged post equals one entry into the prize drawing.

There is no limit to the number of checkpoint images you can share, but duplicate images of the same checkpoint will not count.

Deadline: Submit your checkpoint images no later than midnight on Sunday December 6, 2020.

Prize winners will be posted on the Binge website within one week of the event. Jen will contact each winner by email with instructions for claiming prizes.
