Stage 5: Write a Fic With No Dialogue

Wait for your time, blow your nose, and remember to stay aero- it’s the first time trial! For our competitors it means the return of the dreaded challenge classification- where the prompt is harder, and our competitors are tested like nowhere else! This stage’s challenge is to write a fic with no dialogue- the explanation can be found on the blog.

Good luck to all brave competitors who attempt this stage!

Stage 4: Plays a Different Sport AU

As the hills approach, the peloton faces new challenges. Our wonderful competitors approach another alternate universe. In this stage, pick up a football, dive off a board, jump a lutz- this stage is a Plays a Different Sport AU. In this, there should be no cyclists at all (unless you’ve got another athlete who is now a cyclist 😉).

Enjoy yourself and please ask on Tumblr if you have any questions!

Stage 3: Versatile

The peloton begins to rumble, as they prepare for another sprint. Our competitors are getting another word prompt, for the second stage in the prompt classification. Any day, in the mountains, in the flats, in all seasons- the prompt for this stage is Versatile! It is also the first stage in the Trios Challenge, our gauntlet challenge should you wish to test yourself.

As always, be creative and have fun!
