Week three is behind us and, believe it or not, this week is the last week of the Challenge! But before the month is over, let's get to know each other. Do you have something you want to share with other Challengers? Do you have an interesting story about your ride to work, a useful bike commuting tip, or a picture of your commute (no selfies while riding!)? 

 

Share your commute with your fellow Challengers on our Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram accounts or send it to us via email!

Congratulations to  Stephen Noble, our third week's Most Miles Biked winner! Last week Stephen biked an awesome 262 miles!

 

Stephen is a die-hard bike commuter who tells us that he commutes to work pretty much daily between May and October. In fact he commutes by bike so often that his staff worries about him if he drives to work! 

 

Stephen likes to vary his commutes to challenge himself. From his home in Basking Ridge to his workplace in East Hanover he'll choose routes that will take him either 17.5 miles to work or routes that will take him up to 30 miles. But typically he'll pass by the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Madison and Florham Park. He also tells us that his commutes often take him well into the night so if you are ever in the area you may see him on his way home since he describes himself as being "lit up like a Xmas tree."    

 

Stephen's commuting tip: "It's never a bad day for a ride!"

 

For inspiring us all Stephen will receive a $100 Visa gift card!

Before we go we'd like to share with you a great event that our friends at Bike and Walk Town are hosting this weekend.

 

Join them this Sunday as they host Dinner & Bikes at Marty's Reliable Cycle in Morristown. Dinner & Bikes is a month-long tour of the East Coast that brings people together to eat delicious food and to get inspired about bicycle transportation. The event features Elly Blue, author of Bikeenomics: How Bicycling Can Save the Economy, traveling vegan chef Joshua Ploeg with a gluten-free vegan buffet spread and Joe Beil, filmmaker of the documentary Aftermass: Bicycling in a Post-Critical Mass Portland.
