Are you ready to Get Out and GO?
Get Out and GO (GOGO) is an eight-month riding program full of fun, social, individual and community riding activities. Last season, 280+ participants from around the world logged more than 450,000 miles and 13 million feet of climbing while having fun seeking personal achievement and GOGO swag (see the 2022 details and leaderboards). Each season, one of the most exciting events is the month-long September Team Tournament. 2023 will be our seventh season and we hope you’re looking forward to joining us!

Individual Adventure (175 points maximum): Collect emoji in any quantity or combination you like.
🛣 (20 points): for each 100 total miles
⛰ (10 points): for every 2500 ft total elevation gain
🚴 (10 points): for each single ride of 30+ miles
☀ (10 points): for every 10 days of riding (minimum of 2 miles is needed to count as a day of riding)

🌐🛣🛣🛣⛰⛰🚴🚴🌎🌬🔥Properly measured trainer rides are permitted, but will be credited with no elevation. Credit for all manual entries (no GPS track outdoors, no speed sensor indoors) is limited to 5 miles per day.
- May: Complete The Calendar (and EDIM) (210 points maximum)
Ride alone or participate as a DUO. As a DUO you will combine your daily mileage with that of your partner. GOGO will do the matchmaking. You might make a friend halfway around the world! If you’re up for it, ride Every Day In May (EDIM) and earn individual bonus points.
Ride daily mileage equal to (or greater than) a numerical calendar day to fill in a calendar date. You do not have to complete calendar days in order: 1 mile on the 1st, 2 miles on the 2nd, 3 miles on the 3rd and so forth. Instead, fill your calendar in any order: If you GO 35 miles on May 1st, you’ll fill in the spot for May 31st. If you ride 20 miles on May 1st, you will fill in the date for May 20th. If you ride 20 miles again, you will fill in the largest unfilled number below 20: if May 19th and 18th are filled but the 17th is not, you’ll fill the May 17th slot.
Helpful Hint: Ride big early and save the low mileage calendar days for last or for days when work/school/life necessitates quicker, low mileage rides.
You earn 5 points for each calendar day filled in for a maximum of 155 calendar points. E.g. 31 days yields 155 points (31 x 5), while 20 days yields 100 (20 x 5). If you have a partner, you each earn the points.
To be eligible for May points, a rider must ride at least 25 total miles during the month.
Bonus point opportunities:
- participate in a DUO: 5 points
- complete your calendar: 10 points
- EDIM Bonus: Any rider who rides at least 1 mile each day of the month will earn bonus points based on total mileage as follows:
- 496+ miles: 40 points
- 248+ miles: 25 points
- 62+ miles: 10 points
Properly measured trainer rides are permitted, but will be credited with no elevation. Credit for all manual entries (no GPS track outdoors, no speed sensor indoors) is limited to 5 miles per day.
