Is it really the case that you get the Bike Paint Job for 4 extra Races/Group rides only performed AFTER Graduation?
I favoured races in the first weeks, just because I missed the first group workouts. I accumulated 6 before my first workout and 8 before all workouts being done. Progress showed 6/8 workouts and 8/4 races.
Now I finalised the last workout and graduated yesterday.
Just to see that ONLY THEN you can “Sign up” for the 4 extra races…
REALLY? Why did no-one communicate this before?
So Now on top of the 8 races I do another 4? Why do the other 4 “extra” races not count?
I would like to know the answer to this question as well! I haven’t graduated yet, but I thought that the extra races/group rides that I am doing beyond the required 4 would count towards the extra credit I keep hearing about from others. Reading this now, I realize I may have been wrong and would not have spaced out the workouts like I did if I had known! It’s not that big of a deal, but just a little disappointed to find this out with less than two weeks left. Thanks Maximilian for bringing this up!
I see it happen to me now, and facebook people verified as well.
It is as follows:
FIRST you graduate. You need all 8 IFFERENT workouts (I did 10) and just 4 races-rides.
AFTER graduation, you can SIGN UP for going for the extra 4 races-rides. Without the extra sign up, you do not take part.
But to make that clear: You „only“ get a special PAINT for a bike. The bike you have to „buy“ first…
Yes, and the extra races you do prior to graduating do not count toward your extra credit. However, you don’t have to ‘race’ them. You can ride them at a casual pace if you really want to buy the bike frame and land the paint job. For me, I like the challenge. I liked last year’s paint job but I still bought this year’s to add to my collection. I only wish they could have fixed the time trial bug.
Finished the extra credit but do not see the paint job or new item in my garage. Wondering if there is a problem getting it if you dont have the BMC bike
OK i did the extra races/group rides, and the companion app showed completion however i didn’t receive any other notification regarding what you get for completing the task. Seems like its a paint job for a bike, but i don’t know which one. My cervelo S5 shows an extra paint job, its that the one?
