Join The UP Bike More Challenge Team: May 1-31

April 29, 2016

1bikes150 John Carleton, information services, has created a University of Portland team page for the 2016 Bike More Challenge. All University employees are welcome to join the UP team and ride, earn points, win prizes and awards, and contribute to the University’s sustainability efforts. Team members can sign up and track bike riding miles at this link.

The Bike More Challenge is a fun, free competition to encourage friends, family, and colleagues to experience the benefits of riding a bike. Businesses compete against each other to see who can get the most staff to ride a bike and log their trips between May 1-31. It’s not just about who can ride the most miles, but also who can encourage the most people to give bicycling a try. The fastest way to earn more points as a team is to encourage more people to get on a bike and ride. Even one ride during the month contributes to the team, but only if you sign up.

For more information contact Carleton at carleton@up.edu.
