Ride Your Bike During May to Ensure the U of A Stays at Top of Leaderboard

Ride to WorkorWherever

Right now, the U of A is has a streak to protect, and we need your help! 

May is National Bike Month! A month-long, fun and free community challenge designed to get people to ride their bikes! Throughout May, there are weekly and overall challenges for participants to compete, win prizes and top the leaderboards.

Will Walton College, the College of Education and Health Professions or the College of Engineering edge out Fulbright College this spring? It's anybody's guess. Looking forward watching how the leaderboard shapes up.

This challenge is just for fun. Fun for all ages, abilities and styles of riding. Prizes include gift cards, gear, clothing and even a new bike. 

Follow these simple steps: 

1. Register here.
2. Tell your friends and co-workers
3. Ride a bike. 
4. Log your miles.
5. Win some prizes.

It's not all about who can ride the most miles, but about encouraging as many people as possible to ride for health, happiness and fun. Hop on!
