Thank you to Scott Chilberg for preparing this post.
As we’ve mentioned before, the Bicycle Alliance is acting as the Washington State representative for the 2012 Get Up and Ride National Bike Challenge, and we’re continuing to encourage people to sign up, either as an individual or on a team! Washington has consistently been ranked the most bike friendly state in the nation, and we want to prove that once again by getting as many Washington state residents as possible to sign up for this free nationwide challenge, which starts May 1.
The Challenge works like this: You register on the National Bike Challenge website, you log your biking miles online from May 1stuntil August 31st, and you compete for prizes and qualify for awards as the challenge goes along. Pretty simple stuff! You get 20 points for each day that you ride plus 1 point for each mile that you log. You can also download a smart phone app to log miles as you go!
For a full list of rules, click here. You can also download a full list of prizes here.
The challenge is free to sign up, so there’s no reason not to participate! Plus, May is National Bike Month, so this is a great way to bump up your biking while competing for prizes at the same time.
So go register now! And pass this along to your friends, family, colleagues, and whoever else you think might be interested!
