November is Ride in the Rain!

For the last eight years, fair weather or foul, faculty, staff and students have bicycled to campus in the annual Ride in the Rain Challenge. Participation in the last challenge topped 1,000 students and employees! Many bike commuters join teams and others compete as solo riders. Team awards are given for Most Commute Trips, Most New Riders, and Most Commute Miles; individual awards are given for most prolific recruiter, most commute miles, and most commute trips. Thinking of bike commuting for the first time? All levels and abilities are welcome!

Ride in the Rain 2013 starts on November 1. Get your shower cap.
