Campus bike riders are invited to participate in the Ride in the Rain Challenge, sponsored by the UW’s Transportation Office and set to run Jan. 1–31.
To participate, gather a team of between four and 10 people. A team captain is responsible for providing a record of how many times everyone rides each week. Riders who commute at least eight round trips during the 31-day month are eligible to receive an invitation to a celebration and fashion show — where bike fashion meets its match.
Teams can win awards based on the following categories:
- Most miles
- Most trips
- Most new riders
- Most times teams ride in the rain
A “soaked to the gills� trophy will be provided to the team that wins in the rain category. Other prizes include REI gift certificates, bike equipment, bike clothes, lunches provided by Housing & Food Services, a Cascade Bicycle Club bike pass, helmet and light sets from Hall Health and more.
