Calvin’s Challenge

2008 Results are now available!

The 2008 ride was held on Saturday, May 3rd

Calvin’s Challenge 12 Hour Bike Race is held each year on the weekend before Mother’s Day, starting at Shawnee High School in Springfield, Ohio. Male and female age classes start at age 10 and increase in 5 year increments. Classes including traditional bikes as well as:

• 3 Tandem classes
• Triples
• Recumbents
• HPV
• High wheelers
• Singlespeed/fixed gear

We hope this will give more people a chance to compete with riders of similar abilities. There are custom designed medals for 1st three places in each class. Printed results and medals will be handed out 30 minutes after the finish.

We believe this is the best organized 12 hour event in the U.S. as well as the best marked route of any ride. Both the 49 mile long loop and the 7 mile short loop are flat to rolling on lightly traveled roads. Drafting and aerobars are allowed.

Since we encourage new riders to test themselves, we offer a non racer option on the same route that includes a map and snacks.

Bike mounted or helmet mounted mirrors are required for all riders.
