Cobbled Climbs is thrilled to collaborate with the iconic Tour of Nilgiris to bring you an exhilarating challenge. This is your chance to win an entry ticket to the Tour of Nilgiris 2024!

From 2nd September to 29th September, push your limits and ride as many kilometers as you can. The goal is simple – clock in a minimum of 1000kms in 4 weeks and stand a chance to win!

Every Monday, we’ll announce the leaderboard of the top 20 riders. So, keep pedaling and keep your eyes on the prize!

• Registration and Participation
  - All participants must register on CobbledClimbs.com and join the Cobbled Climbs Strava Club to be eligible for the challenge.
  - Only one Strava account per participant is allowed. Using multiple accounts or combining data from different accounts will result in disqualification.
• Challenge Duration
  - The challenge runs from 2nd September 2024 to 29th September 2024. Only rides completed within this period will be considered.
• Minimum Distance Requirement
  - Participants must ride a minimum of 1000 kilometers during the challenge period to qualify for the prize.
• Ride Tracking and Verification
   - All rides must be tracked using Strava. Ensure that your rides are set to “public” to be visible for verification.
    - No virtual rides (e.g., Zwift) or manually entered rides will be counted. Only GPS-tracked outdoor rides are eligible.
   - Participants are prohibited from pausing and resuming rides to artificially extend the distance. Rides should be continuous and reflect actual cycling activity.
• Minimum Ride Distance and Duration
  - Each individual ride must be a minimum of 10 kilometers in distance and 30 minutes in duration to qualify. This prevents multiple short, non-qualifying rides from being counted.
• No Motor-Assisted Rides
  - E-bikes or any form of motor-assisted riding are strictly prohibited. Only rides powered by the participant’s physical effort will be counted.
• GPS Integrity and Ride Data
    - Strava’s GPS integrity will be closely monitored. Any suspicious ride data, such as irregular speed patterns, abnormally straight lines, or inconsistent GPS tracking, will be flagged and investigated.
  - Participants are prohibited from manually editing their ride data on Strava. Any ride data that has been altered will be disqualified.
• Leaderboard Updates
  - The leaderboard will be updated every Monday on CobbledClimbs.com, showcasing the top 20 riders based on total distance covered.
• Tie-Breaking Criteria
  - In case of a tie (two or more participants covering the same distance), additional criteria will be used to determine the winner:
  - Total elevation gain during the challenge period.
  - Total number of rides completed during the challenge period.
  - Consistency in ride frequency (e.g., more frequent rides will be favored).
• Reporting and Disqualification
    - Participants are encouraged to report any suspicious activity or potential cheating. All reports will be investigated, and appropriate action will be taken.
  - Any participant found to be in violation of the challenge rules will be immediately disqualified. Cobbled Climbs reserves the right to disqualify participants without prior notice.
• Final Results
  - The final results and the winner of the challenge will be announced on 1st October 2024 on CobbledClimbs.com and our social media channels.
• Spirit of the Challenge
  - The Cobbled Climbs Challenge is about community, sportsmanship, and personal achievement. Participants are expected to maintain a positive attitude and respect fellow riders throughout the event.
