How To Record Your Sportive Ride Time

You can ride at any time from 00:01 on Friday 23rd July up to 23:59 on Friday 6th August and all times must be recorded on the system by 23:59 on Sunday 8th August.

IMPORTANT: all dates and times are those in the UK (UTC + 1) and you will need to adjust for this based on your local time.

Step 1: locate your Ticket

Your Ticket for this challenge is stored in your Results Base profile and you will find it when you log in and look at 'Your tickets' under the My Area menu. Alternatively, use the direct link on the email you will receive in the week leading up to July 23rd.

Your Ticket will look like this:

Step 2: select your ride distance

Click the CHANGES button on your Ticket and from the options shown select 'Change distance'.

This will bring up the following display and you will be able to select the distance you wish to ride (or, if you changed your mind while out riding, change to an alternative distance),

Clicking the CHANGE DISTANCE button will confirm your new distance and update your Ticket.

Use a Garmin device to record your ride

As this Challenge is a 'time for distance' challenge it is possible to link your Ticket to a Garmin device. This will automatically import your ride time as long as the distance that you ride matches your selected distance (a small variation is allowed).

To link your Garmin Connect account use the CHANGES button on your Ticket and from the options shown select Connect Garmin Connect. This brings up the following display and you can use the CONNECT button to link your Ticket to your Garmin Connect account.

Note that only rides taken within the duration of the Sportive Challenge will be imported and the first match will be used - you can remove this and select an alternate ride time or use the manual option if you prefer.

Record your time manually

To manually record your time select ENTER YOUR RESULT on your Ticket. That will bring up this screen (you will also get directly to this screen if you use the special button on your email):

Input the time that you took, provide a link to any online record of your ride (on Strava, MapMyRide, etc) and upload an image to support your time (eg a screen grab) or just a social image of you out on your bike.
