Points were earned in the individual challenge using this formula:  Miles biked + (20 x number of days biked) + (50 x number of riders encouraged) = total points. 

The team point totals were determined using this formula:  (Miles + 20x number of days) / (number of riders on the team) = team points. The top three teams win custom-made traveling trophies.
