This is a public service announcement, only obliquely related to bicycle touring.  

The Cycle Life Challenge is a renaming of an annual event that originated on Bicycle Life, one of the other doors on the Crazy Guy website.   It’s a local variant of the annual Coffeeneuring Challenge that was initiated by an ex-CGOAB author to encourage participation on Bicycle Life.  It’s a pretty simple idea - during the seven week Coffeeneuring season, take seven local rides of at least seven miles in distance; stop somewhere along the way (typically a coffee venue); spend some money in the local economy; and write about it.

In Bicycle Life, this was playfully named Guntonneuring by Kathleen, the event initiator.

Kathleen no longer cares to affiliate with Crazy Guy, but the event lives on under a new name, the Bicycle Life Challenge, on a new website: Cycle365.  Here is the announcement for This year’s challenge.

A few participants in the event also post here on CycleBlaze, including myself, so you might care to follow along or join us with your own submissions.  If you care to have a look, here are links to my submissions:
