Are you participating in the MRA Seasonal Challenge?

@hans-van-de-ven-mra-master, I agree with the above replies.
I don't consider riding to be a challenge, and I don't want to turn it into one...

@Jack-van-Tilburg @StefanHummelink @Steve-Lynch
I would have thought that you all would have accepted the challenge. Apart from a Season Challenge badge on your profile and of course the bragging rights, there are nice rewards for completing Tiers 3 and 4.

If you have any feedback as to why you haven’t accepted the challenge, it would be useful

@Con-Hennekens The challenge is using MRA not riding and knowing the different functions. You’re an expert, this would be easy for you.

Hmm, maybe I should look further into that . But I am not the bragging type. I do find my way around MRA, but I never opted for Expert or Ambasador badges because of that.

EDIT:
No I am sorry. these kind of "exams" are not my cup of tea. And I'd rather be appreciated on my input in this forum, than on any kind of badge behind my avatar.

The challenges start off easy and become a little more involved. They have been designed to highlight some of the features in the route planner and they are fun to do.
Good luck

One of the reasons I'm not participating is that imho the challenge is not about exclusively about riding or planning routes... I noticed that in the first tier:

• I should invite a friend...
• Walk with MRA tracking...
• Organize an event...
  etc. etc.

All of which are defintely secondary to motorcycling and having fun planning my routes...

I just want to prepare my routes and ride them with the great tool that MRA is, haha! I feel very much connected to MRA and I absolute love the product(s), you might even consider me being a fanboy, I might even go as far as considering me a a 16 year old girl screaming at a One Direction concert, but this challenge is not for me.

Now, I'm not being negative here, but you asked for my feedback

Upvote for this!

Thank you for your honest feedback @StefanHummelink I’ll reply to your points:

• I should invite a friend...
  MRA has to get a little back from organising the Season Challenge and some soft advertising is not much to ask.

• Walk with MRA tracking...
  This is to inform MRA users of the updated MRA Mobile app and a short walk is good for your health

• Organize an event...
  Creating an event could be very useful for a lot of MRA users and unless you try you won’t see the full potential.

The idea behind the Season Challenge is to inform MRA users (who are not as adept as you) to the features that they might not have seen and therefore give them a better knowledge of what can be achieved.
Again, I appreciate your feedback

I'm sorry.
I'm not very interested in rewards or bragging rights. And don't take any action for that either.
I am happy if I can steer users of MRA in the right direction if they have a request for help in the forum. Their 'thank you' is my reward.

So it should not have come as a surprise that I do not participate haha ! I know all the features of MRA and appreciate all of them for their place in time so therefore these kind of challenges don't suit me.

What about the forum badge/recognition or something like that, @Con-Hennekens mentioned hehe?

[Nick Carthew]

@stefanhummelink Leave it with me

@nick-carthew

For me it falls apart in Tier 2 CH5.
I detest social media just as much as I love MRA and riding Motorcycles. (I have also done a few Walking Routes with MRA)

Think about planning a city route to allow you to see all of the attractions by foot. The simple ‘follow the line’ capability of the MRA Mobile app is perfect for this.

@hans-van-de-ven-mra-master No

[Scott Fountain]

Yes.
Is anyone looking at what I have submitted?
