\ud83c\udfc6 Leagues: How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leagues are a ranking system that resets every two weeks, designed to motivate you to ride regularly and improve, whatever your level.
Ride, earn points, climb the leagues\u2026 and try to reach the Elite<\/strong> \ud83d\udeb4\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u23f1\ufe0f Season Duration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • A season lasts 14 days<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Seasons start on Monday<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rankings reset on Sunday at 11:00 PM (UTC)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Each new season starts with a fresh ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udc65 League Composition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Up to 30 cyclists<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Riders of similar skill level<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • If your league is not full yet, other riders may join during the season<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      \ud83e\udde9 Available Leagues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      There are currently 4 leagues<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • The goal is to progress from one league to the next<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The ultimate objective is to reach the Elite League<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Once in Elite, the real challenge is staying there<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        \ud83c\udfaf How Do You Earn Points?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        You earn points for every recorded activity<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • 1 point<\/strong> per recorded activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • +1 point every 10 km<\/strong> ridden<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • +1 point every 100 m<\/strong> of elevation gain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          \ud83d\udc49 In short: the more you ride, the more points you earn\u2026 and the higher you climb in the rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          \ud83d\udcca Rankings & Zones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
