Join the National Bike Challenge and Keep Houghton on Top!

Posted on

Our community is again proving its dedication to bicycles and is currently ranked among the top 15 cities in the National Bike Challenge! Houghton leads the Michigan contingent and a few local riders have been atop the leaderboard within the past month. The Challenge is a program from Bikes Belong and the League of American Bicyclists that allows metropolitan areas from across the country to complete virtually in a running tally of bicycle commuting miles. If you are cycling — mountain or road — we need your help.

Houghton may be atop the score board today, but there are other communities close behind with their eyes on the title. We need your help to prove that the Houghton area is a true national leader in bicycle transportation & recreation. The Challenge lasts through August so there’s still plenty of time to make a difference for our team. Getting involved is easy, free and you will be eligible for monthly prizes. Here’s how:

1) Go to http://nationalbikechallenge.org
    2) Click the “Join” button & follow the registration instructions
3) Start logging your miles
4) Tell your friends to support the cause by registering and riding with you

The Challenge is a great opportunity to get out and ride while strengthening our cycling community and enjoying our beautiful home.
