Web-site is Alive!

That's right! At anytime, 24/7, you can visit

www.Tahoebikechallenge.org and see the cumulative miles traveled, calories burned, and the amount of CO2 not being emitted into the atmosphere - all in real-time. You can even check out your friends and teams to see how they are doing - and challenge them to pedal it forward. How cool is that!

Keep your Green Miles going and check to see if your family, friends and colleagues at school or work are rolling in the Challenge. Be sure to get everyone signed up and riding so that we can help build our bicycle culture, community and justify getting more dollars to build more bikeways.
