UPDATE: KEEP RIDING, OUR CHALLENGE IS NOT OVER!
**We hit our initial goal of 30,000 miles on May 11th! Keep riding and logging your trips through May 31st at 11:59PM. Let's see if we can triple that initial goal and make it to 90,000 miles!**
Join us in riding 30,000 miles and beyond to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Bike to Work Day! All of your rides you log during Bay Area Bike to Wherever Days from May 1-31st count towards our goal, and all of the trips you track via the Ride with GPS app make you eligible for prizes.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) proudly presents this challenge to strengthen community bonds and promote unity across the region. Whether you're commuting to work, running errands, or enjoying a leisurely ride, every mile counts toward our goal.
