May is Bike Month!
May 1-31 - Bike Everywhere Challenge – This is Western’s 6th Challenge!
- Sign up now - start a team or join an existing WWU team that would love to have you
- Team captains are impressive. It is super easy to be a team captain –
- Click on “Join/Create a Team”
- Enter a team name that includes WWU (for example: WWU Pedal Pushers, so Western teams can find each other more easily)
- When you register your team choose Whatcom County, so your team can be grouped with other teams in our area
- Invite people to be on your team
- LovetoRide.net does the rest
- New riders earn double day and mile points! If you know someone who has been thinking about riding a bike, this is the perfect time to be their encourager and invite them to be on your team. If you are feeling unsure about riding, contact WWU's Jillian Trinkaus for a Confident Cycling class!
- Recording rides is easy. Connect your LovetoRide profile to Strava or MapMyRide. Whether you are riding to work, going for a family weekend spin, or grinding your favorite lap on Galbraith, all your rides count!
Friday, May 20 is Bike to Work and School Day. Transportation Services and the AS Outdoor Center will be hosting two Celebration Stations on campus from 7-10 a.m. Let me know if you would like to volunteer at a Celebration Station.
Also on May 20, ride to Waypoint Park for the Soul Shakedown Party from 5-7 p.m. The all-ages festivities are being hosted by the Port of Bellingham, Kulshan Brewing, and the Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition.
It is going to be another great month of riding!
