Could you please provide a list of the challenges (or a link to a list) when clicking on the September Challenge from within the SYSTM app? I don’t want to go straight to planning the challenge in my calendar before seeing what the rides are. I’m sure it used to be this way - see the rides, _then_ plan them - but at least as of August, it goes straight to planning without seeing them. ---

If you go to the main “cycling” list, @Rupert always throws a # on the current month challenge rides, so they show up 1-4 on the list by default. ---

> [@pkdaylu](#): > > No better vacation than a hard ride in an exotic location! I agree, and when I actually visit those places, I will consider it a vacation. But truth be told, they were no different than the ride I did the day before, or the one before that or, or, or. I guess the name elicited some thing different to me. > [@CPT\_A](#): > > what were you HOPING to do for your vacation? Sit around on the…_ahem_…COUCH? Back when I was doing triathlons, my wife would let me do any event I wanted, as long as we went directly from there to her vacation choice for a week. So yes, those were definitively down time vacations, but not on a couch. I did a tri in Hurricane, UT (think St George) and then we spent a week at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. Awesome place. ---

I just finished up the fourth ride (Med Coast: Route des Cretes) so this challenge is done. Still sticking with my question about where’s the vacation. The first climb was 12%, the second 10% and the third started at _ **just** _ 8% but did go up to 11%. Not a vacation for me. 😧 ---

I think that’s a fair assumption. I’m pretty sure you need to do the workout in SYSTM to have it count towards the badge. Doing the workout outdoors, or in RGT, does not count. ---
