We\u2019re proud to have signed up 576 participants in 69 different teams statewide, and to see our dedicated riders hitting the streets, trails, and pathways every day and fastidiously logging their miles online. <\/span><br style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><br style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">Our numbers as a state are outstanding. Together, we\u2019ve racked up 143,127 miles (enough to circle the equator more than 5 times!) over the past two and a half months, and saved 131,016 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions and $38,494 by riding on two wheels instead of four. <\/span><\/span>  <span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">The end of June also saw a second wave of individual prizewinners.
