September is BIKE COMMUTE CHALLENGE Month



The BTA's 2010 Bike Commute Challenge begins this Wednesday! Are you ready to join the competition of thousands of individuals and workplaces competing to see who can bike to work the most? While the challenge is run out of fellow Oregon city Portland, there are some groups from Ashland and Medford who compete locally. Join them!

How it works:
1) Anyone interested in taking the Challenge looks to see if their workplace is already registered. If it isn't, they register themselves and their workplace team at the same time. They become the Team Captain, by default.

2) Their coworkers register and join that workplace team.

3) Everyone logs their bike trips during the month of September.

4) At the end of the month, the BTA tallies the bike trips and ranks all workplaces in size categories by the percentage of commutes achieved by bike.

5) On October 7th, the BTA announces the winning companies in each category at a big After Party.

Check out the Bike Commute Challenge website for commuter tips, links to bike maps, information about bikes and transit, and to sign up!
