The challenge

The central ideal behind Peaks to Plains is the Summer Moto Mileage Challenge.  Simply put, we love to ride, let's see who can clock the most miles in the season!  Spanning from May to October, let your tires roll and your odometer tell the story.  

How does it work? Join us at Banded Oak Brewery on June 1st for our Clock-In. We’ll record the reading on your Odometer. Ride all Summer and join us for the Clock-Out party in October to see who managed to put the most miles on their bikes.

What about our friends who've customized their machines past the point of having an odometer?  Our Bonus Challenges are there for you!  Earn miles by completing different tests and objectives.  Depending on the difficulty, we'll award miles to your score.  From proof of National Park visits, to nights spent outside camping, you'll be able to stand a chance against that guy who's probably going to ride to Alaska and back.  Maybe.

Bonus Challenges

The following (and growing, so check back often) list of challenges can be used to supplement your mileage through the summer, and in the case of the No Odometer Class, will constitute the entire challenge.  You MUST follow the following steps to get credit for your completions:
