A CONNECTED COMMUNITY THROUGH MOUNTAIN BIKING
30x30 Challenge
30 MINUTES. 30 DAYS. ANY BIKE.
Brought to you by Elevate Bike Shop
Do you need some incentive to get back in the saddle?
Are you training for the Pemberton Enduro or Spud Crusher Women’s Enduro?
Want to reduce your carbon footprint and bike to work or school more consistently?
Want to win some sweet prizes?
PORCA is excited to invite you to participate in a 30-minute x 30-day bike challenge from April 1st - 30th. We’re welcoming people of all ages, experiences, and ability levels. All you need is something to pedal and a bit of persistence. Bike (virtually or in-person) with other people and win some sweet prizes!
HOW IT WORKS:
First, you need to be a PORCA member
Register for 30x30 Day Bike Challenge. It’s a free benefit to being a PORCA member!
Choose a bike to pedal for a minimum of 30 minutes a day, every day, consecutively for April. Mountain bike, road bike, spin bike, cruiser bike — if it has pedals that make a wheel move, it counts!
The 30 minutes can be done all at once or broken up into smaller chunks of time. However, the total for the day needs to add up to at least 30 minutes.
NEW for 2024! Did you do trail maintenance instead of (or in addition to) biking for a day? Thank you! Please include your trail maintenance minutes in the daily tracker instead of (or in addition to) biking for that day. There is no separate category for trail maintenance, log them as you would a ride log.
Enter your name and minutes into the minute tracker. (See Below)
This event is based on the Honor System – nobody will be checking your Strava.
Share your progress on social media for more chances to win! Use hashtag #PORCA30X30 and tag @porcabikes

Massive thanks to Paula Keohan for designing this database system!

All participants have the opportunity to win prizes; don’t give up if you miss a day!
There will be two prize packs per week. One will be chosen from the participants highlighted on PORCA’s social feed that week, and one will be chosen from the participants who rode every day that week.
For the grand prize, you need to have biked all 30 days!
Winners will be chosen at random from the list of entries. The more you bike, the more chances you have at winning something!
