THIRSTY THURSDAYS presents: LOCAL LEGENDS
June 4 → September 1st @ The Heights
6 PM- 10 PM
This summer, SCMBC is turning Thursday nights into a full-on community ride movement.
Ride bikes. Chase segments. Earn bragging rights. Stay for après.
WELCOME TO LOCAL LEGENDS.
From June through August, riders are invited to throw down at The Heights every Thursday night to build points toward becoming an official SCMBC Local Legend.
HOW IT WORKS:
Ride the designated segments on Thursday nights
Stack your climbs & descents
Track your stats on Strava
Ride the designated Heights segments every Thursday night
Ups: Building Potential, Settlers Climb, Farewell Climb & Heights Climb Trail, Service to Summit, The Full Height, Get Grinding
Downs: Shane's Old Cup, Super D, Bottle Rocket & Sir Bikes
Loops: Casper D Ghost Loop
EACH MONTH new LEGENDS are crowned!
LEGEND PRIZES:
Crank & Sprocket Local Legend Mug
The OG Local Legend Tee
Sponsor giveaways
And at the end of the season…
We crown the ultimate:
G.O.A.T. of The Heights (men & women)
The rider with the best overall season stats earns full Local Legend immortality.
PLUS:
💥 Last Thursday of every month = Toonie Team Percision Challenge
Women's Team-3, Men's Team-3, and Co-ed-3
💥 Ride time starts at 6:00 PM
💥 Après social runs until 10:00 PM
💥 Community vibes HIGH at all times
Format = "Match Your First Ride" challenge.
Each rider gets two runs down the selected Strava stage. The goal isn't to be the fastest rider—it's to have your second run match your first run as closely as possible. We're hoping this makes the event more approachable and fun for riders of all abilities, since consistency matters more than outright speed. (last Thursday of each month when we crown the local legends)
Ride it.
Repeat it.
Prove it Thursday.
+ There's a fun little side contest as well, "find the yeti."
Riders are encouraged each week to find the yeti and snap a pic. Each week, we change the location of where we put selfie YETIs
FIND IT, SNAP IT, POST it to social and tag @simcoecountymountainbikeclub @theheightsskiandcountryclub
@marinbikes @marinbikes_canada
AND WIN PRIZES FOR BEST PICTURE
