250m elevation cycling challenge

250M Climb: collect a 250-metre elevation gain milestone

250M Climb asks you to complete a cycling activity with at least 250 metres of elevation gain and prove it with a screenshot of the recorded ride. The visible gain metric is what matters; reaching a place at a certain altitude is not the same calculation.

What is this challenge?

This quest is a second elevation marker in the current collection. It defines a product threshold, not a universal training level or a promise about route difficulty.

What is the objective?

Finish a cycling activity that reaches the official minimum elevation-gain total.

How do you complete it?

The activity’s recorded gain must be 250 m or more, displayed as elevation gained rather than current altitude.

What proof is required?

Upload one screenshot from the completed activity summary. Make sure the metric label and number are both present.

Practical tips

  • Review the route profile in the tool you already use before leaving.
  • Keep recording through the full outing so the gain is not split unintentionally.
  • Wait for any post-ride elevation processing to complete before capturing proof.

A cautious way to approach the quest

Treat the threshold as optional, choose a route within your own limits and use particular care on descents and changing surfaces.

Questions about this quest

Can several hills add up to the 250 m requirement?
The rule uses the completed activity’s elevation-gain total, so the proof is the accumulated figure shown by the recording.
Is 250 m of altitude enough?
No. The required metric is elevation gain, not the altitude of the route or destination.
