Get Ready for the Tahoe Bike Challenge June 4 -15
The 7th Annual Tahoe Bike Challenge event is just around the corner and the Tahoe Bicycle Coalition challenges you to join hundreds of Tahoe bicyclists to bike to work, school and play. The Challenge is fun, easy and it's healthy for you and the Lake - show your support for a healthy environment by not driving your car - which has proven to significantly impact the Lake's clarity and our experience of this natural wonder.
The Challenge can be as simple as riding a bike for the very first time or challenging your friends and colleagues to the number of trips ridden, or miles and elevation gained during the event. The Challenge is your personal challenge - you define it! And, my registering your participation you receive chances to win daily prizes.
Challenge registration is online at bike.tahoempo.org and be sure to tell your friends to sign up for the Tahoe Cycling Newsletter so they will also receive the Daily Spin that will contain valuable tips, daily prize winners and notices during the Challenge.
