The 2024 Tour d’ECC presented by Goodman Halioua is here! Eight stages. 370+ km. 8 days. Ride, record, submit. Be awesome. Have fun. Each stage will have a one day window for completion. Stages will be offered as official club rides each day but can also be ridden at any point during the one-day window. Just make sure that the routes are followed correctly. We think we are free of any tricks but if you spot an anomaly let us know by replying.
Like last year, a stage attempt will get you a minimum of five points – even if it’s a disaster. In order to get the full ten points, the stage has to be absolutely perfect. Anything in between gets you eight points.
Each stage is worth a maximum of 10 points, with 5 bonus points for each consecutive stage ridden. For example, if a person rides Friday through Monday, takes Tuesday off and rides Wednesday to Friday, they would earn 3 x 5 points for Saturday, Sunday and Monday and another 2 x 5 points for Thursday and Friday for a total of 25 bonus points. If someone completes all 8 stages, 35 bonus points can be earned.
the goal

Fun wins, not speed
Speed is not a factor in the overall standings – it’s about completion. And fun!!

Get Moving
It looks easy from the outset, but winning, or even just completing, the Tour will take a lot of effort and dedication. But you got this!
04
For The Win!
Points are awarded for all sorts of things – read the rules, have some fun.
