Restrap Solstice Century Challenge returns

Restrap have launched their annual Solstice Century Challenge.

We all need a little extra motivation to get out for a ride in December, and Restrap have come up with a little incentive to help give cyclists an extra push.

"In this year's winter edition of our Solstice Century Challenge, we're urging cyclists to embrace the limited daylight during the winter solstice weekend from December 15th to 17th" say the Yorkshire-based cycling luggage outfitters.

"The goal is to ride at least one 100 mile ride during the weekend. Feel free to tackle this challenge outdoors or indoors, on any terrain, and with any type of bike."

Everyone who signs up will receive an email with a ride submission link. You have until 3 January to submit your ride, and Restrap will send out a Solstice Century woven patch to commemorate your effort.
