CHALLENGES
DKWTS consists of various challenges that allow participants to gain points (Purrito Points!) throughout the series: Tours (main challenges that last multiple weeks), Stages (smaller challenges that last up to 1 week), and Bonuses (random challenges that last different lengths of time).
SCORING:
The points breakdown is TBA and will be available on the DKWTS website. Participants will receive points for various challenges and activities.
TOUR CHALLENGES:
Tour Challenges are based on a rider’s progress for time, distance, and elevation metrics over a multi-week period. Purrito Points will be assigned for rider participation each Tour.
1. Time Challenge
2. Distance Challenges
3. Elevation Challenges
4. Bonus Challenges
STAGE CHALLENGES:
Stage Challenges are weekly challenges that give riders the opportunity to earn points. Some stages may be "competitive" (i.e. Longest ride of the week) with points awarded to the Top riders in each designated category and field. Other stages are "participatory" (i.e. Do a ride on 5 different days this week) with points awarded to all who complete the challenge. NOTE: Some of the challenges may have separate scoring for virtual and outdoor rides.
BONUS & POP-UP CHALLENGES:
Bonus & Pop-Up Challenges are announced throughout the competition as fun ways for riders to earn additional points and interact with other participants. Bonus Challenges are usually announced at the beginning of each week or Stage. Pop-Up Challenges are surprise challenges announced randomly throughout the series.
PRIZES & GIVEAWAYS:
Various prizes & giveaways will be awarded during the series based on Purrito Points and at random. Prizes may include Dirty Kitten merchandise items, sponsor giveaways, partner event entries, and more!
