It’s Time For Season 2 of AT’s Ride to Greatness

Activate the hustle, validate your greatness, win as one. You in?

There’s a moment in every ride with Alex Toussaint where you come to a profound realization: You are an athlete. Seven minutes and 34 seconds into a nine minute climb or 19 seconds into a 45-second freestyle moment, it hits you. I. am. an. athlete. That single, irrefutable truth is the most powerful motivation for you to push harder, not just for yourself but for your team; not just for an interval but for a lifetime. Get ready to find motivation like none other as you ride to greatness with Alex Toussaint himself. It’s time to become the champion you were born to be—Season 2 of AT’s Ride to Greatness is here.

Last season, the head-to-head battle on the Bike between #TeamActivate and #TeamValidate ended with #TeamValidate on the top step of the podium, but don’t get it twisted—it was an exceptionally close fight the whole way through. This year, over the course of three action-packed weeks, help your team vie for the championship crown. You’ll be led by surprise pro athletes on the Leaderboard helping you rack up points each gameday. Keep your fire burning hot from start to finish and be ready to be on top of your game when your team needs you most.

How to Win

Alex is committed to unleashing your inner athlete throughout the competition, with every last second of each class designed to push your team to the limit. Alex can get you there—but only if you’re equally as committed. Just like points, goals and home runs, the metric for success in Ride to Greatness is your team’s average combined output. Practice rides are your chance to practice boosting your own personal output; games are your time to leave it all on the Bike to help send your team to the top—but you’ll have to show up live in order for your output to count towards your team’s score.

The winning team will be awarded a shiny new badge and, okay, maybe some bragging rights.
