Pedal for Points cash leaderboard - over $35,000 up for grabs!
As you earn VIP points you will progress further on the custom map provided in your Player Admin. You will see your own progress in the race marked by the yellow bike on the track, and you will see the position of the top 10, as well as 50th place marked by a flag on the map. The leaderboard only pays out the first 50 to finish the race and only VIP points earned between Saturday 3rd July 00:00 and Sunday 25th July 23:59 count, so make sure you stay ahead of the 50th place flag and complete every stage to ensure you get your chunk of the cash!
