Commuter Cup Challenge - May 18 to June 22, 2011 back by popular demand! The fun, friendly 5-week challenge between local employers runs between our first Bike to Work day during National Bike Week and Colorado Bike to Work day. Encourages employees to leave the car at home more and try to make bike/walk commuting a habit. In 2010, 679 car trips were avoided and 7,523 miles ridden to and from work!
Wednesday, May 18, 2011: First Bike to Work day during National Bike Week will kick off the Commuter Challenge and will include these fun, free events to registered participants:
Breakfast stop 6-9 a.m. at SRDA by City Hall with fruit smoothies made by a human powered "Fender Blender" and breakfast burritos.
Downtown Tour at 7:30 a.m. a casual 2-mile ride downtown with a police escort. We'll stick together at an 8 mph pace so we can meet others we might be able to continue riding with during the challenge. Local elected leaders are invited to support cycling, health and community awareness of healthy, active living! The ride should finish so most people can get to work by 8 am.
