Maybe you’d love to bike Across America, but you can’t get away for long enough this summer. Maybe you could handle one of our Moderate treks, but you want to push yourself a little. Or maybe you’d love to see Chicago, New York, and the whole stretch of America between them. This exhilarating 30- day bike trip is designed for you.
Cycle just over 1,000 miles on a varied route through rolling farm country, alongside the Great Lakes and Niagara Falls, and through bustling cities. Starting in the Midwest, you’ll leave Chicago and cruise through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, a smidgen of Pennsylvania, and New York state. In Cleveland, you’ll visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and you’ll stop for chicken wings in Buffalo, the city where they were invented. Visit Niagara Falls, then start your descent through beautiful upstate New York, and ride along the Hudson into Manhattan, where the trek ends.

Trek Century Challenge
I’m truly an amateur cyclist; sometimes I chase a KOM or two, but Phil Gaimon I am not. Normally I focus more on actual events but this year hasn’t really given me a chance for that which I definitely understand. So I was very excited to see that Trek brought back the Century Challenge on Strava! The photo above is from Smith’s Bike Shop in La Crosse, with many of the local participants present. It was great to have the camaraderie from the shop.
If you are unfamiliar with the concept – Strava is an app (and website) where users can post their workouts, including bike rides and runs. They often have challenges, and occasionally companies jump in to sponsor a specific challenge. Last year Trek introduced a new challenge, offering a reward for riding at least 100 miles in the month of July. They gave away t-shirts that corresponded to the distance ridden – 100, 500 or 1000. I had some long distance events I was training for last year, the Day Across Minnesota (DAMn) and Ride Across Wisconsin (RAW, a Bike Fed event!), so it was the perfect opportunity to pile on some miles. I didn’t quite hit 1000, finishing around 850 as I tapered for DAMn.
When I saw that Trek was bringing the challenge back this year, it felt like a perfect opportunity to motivate me to do something bigger. Just thinking about the challenge of riding 1000 miles in 31 days got me really excited! I’ll need to average just over 32 miles a day for each and every day in July to hit the goal. Doing RAW last year taught me that I’m much more capable of big challenges than I sometimes give myself credit for. The grit that I developed riding over 225 miles in a single day gives me confidence in my ability to complete the goal. However, you don’t have to aim for the 1000 mile goal! To complete the challenge you only need to ride 3.2 miles a day to hit 100 miles in the month of July. I’m pretty sure my kiddos would do that, if I got them on Strava (sort of like cell phones, I’m pretty sure they don’t need to be sucked into the data end of riding yet). Even Zwift and other virtual miles count – so if it’s too hot, or rainy, or even if you just prefer to ride inside, you can still participate.
In a world where we’re all experiencing turmoil and some sense of loss, bicycling hasn’t been cancelled and won’t be. Trek is here to provide the carrot, in this year’s case a stem cap corresponding to the distance ridden, and a custom coffee mug to remind you of your accomplishments. I plan to reward myself with a gold chain for my road bike to match my stem cap if I’m successful. Then I’ll sit back and sip coffee from my pro mug, and enjoy my achievement.
This is a chance to be part of something bigger! Whether you’re clipping in to the latest aero road bike or going on a cruise to get ice cream, count your miles and earn a reward.

What is the 1000 Mile Challenge?
The 1000 Mile Challenge is an endurance challenge event in New Brunswick, Canada. Historically, the event included two snowmobilers who set off on a journey across New Brunswick trails, with the goal of achieving 1000 GPS miles in 24 hours. The primary goal of the event is to raise funds that will be used directly to send children to summer camp, who would not be able to go due to financial reasons.
For the year 2024, the 24 hour time has been lifted and The Challenge is now a week long event. We invite riders to New Brunswick to ride some of the best trails in the world and allow teams of two or more to attempt 1000 Miles with no set time limit. Some teams will choose to be live tracked via two-way satellite tracking devices, and fans worldwide can track the riders’ locations on a live online platform. Fans are welcomed to cheer trailside, record and post content, and be involved in the excitement. Multiple film crews capture content before, during, and after the event. Daytime aerial support ensures fans are kept in the action while the event is underway.
The 1000 Mile Challenge has captivated over a million fans worldwide every year, with an audience from more than 10 countries. Snowmobilers rally together for the cause; they unite, share the vision, and join in the experience. This event is something people feel a part of; a heartwarming and interactive experience.
Since 2021, the 1000 Mile Challenge has raised over $250,000 that covers camp fees for kids in summer.

Welcome to our most challenging trip!
Ride 3,800 miles across the U.S., through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and along the Great Lakes to Niagara Falls. Then, follow the Erie Canal bike route across NY state to the Hudson River for a short 150 miles into NYC, ending the trip at Coney Island. We’ll see misty Oregon beaches and the Rocky Mountains, thick forests and the wide- open plains. We’ll camp, hike, and swim, stop in picturesque town squares and ride past some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers.
Across America’s northern route lets our bikers enjoy their summer travel experience, compared to (much, much hotter) southern cross- country routes. But don’t kid yourself – – you will bike close to 100 miles, some days, so you’ll need to be in good shape. When you ride into Coney Island and get that last ice cream of the trip, though, you’ll have the accomplishment of a lifetime.
Trek Highlights
- Visit Portland, OR, Minneapolis, MN, Chicago, IL, Madison, WI, Niagara Falls, and NYC (and everything in between)
- See gorgeous wilderness, friendly small towns, and major American cities
- Bike 60 – 85 miles/day
- Camp out and stay in hostels and hotels

The century challenge is a challenge on Strava for riders to reach 100, 500, or 1000 miles in the month of July and they get some type of prize (last year it was mug and stem cap, two years back it was a shirt). The trek 100 is focused on raising money for ending childhood cancer. Thanks for the reply though!
