Mohamed Rashed & Katlyn McGraw most improved as Team UofL enters final month of National Bike Challenge
Team UofL pedaled strong throughout August for fossil fuel-free fitness, fun, and frolicking (i.e. transportation) in the National Bike Challenge, which runs May - September 2020.
As we ride into the final month of the Challenge, UofL staff, faculty, and students have biked a total of 20,682 miles on 1537 rides, with 458 bike commutes of 3504 miles preventing 2,252lbs of carbon pollution!
The Sustainability Council & Get Healthy Now congratulate our top riders who continue to dominate: Kamila Bujko, Melissa Miller, Rachel Singel, Emily Coleman, Rochelel Holm, Tyler Ellis, and Justin Mog (who was among the top ten bike commuters in the nation in August, having pedaled a total of 350 miles over 26 days for transportation).
We are rewarding our most improved riders in August:
- Mohamed Rashed (Graduate Teaching Assistant, Electrical & Computer Engineering) for being the most improved rider overall with the 4th most trips (32 trips totaling 82 miles) and 5th most bike commutes (29 miles over 9 days) in August; and
- Katlyn McGraw (Graduate Research Assistant, Environmental Health Institute) for being the most improved female rider, racking up 247 miles over 15 trips (3rd place among female riders, and 8th most trips overall) in August.
Join in the fun, fitness & clean commuting through September! Your miles and days cycled will qualify you for great prizes through Get Healthy Now, including the grand prize of a $400 voucher to a local bike shop, co-sponsored by UofL's Sustainability Council!
