May Was Bike Month!

The Group Health Commute Challenge is a friendly competition to see who can get more people biking to work during the month of May. This year was STG's first time forming a team, with a total of 9 staffers (photo missing some folks, obviously!).



Thanks to our Team Captain for organizing and motivating us all month long!



We're so proud of our little team for logging in a total of 952.7 miles - and of all of Seattle logging in a grand total of 1,306,014 miles, saving 1,279,894 lbs of CO2, and burning a total of 63,994,716 calories!

Cascade Bicycle Club hosted a end of month celebration and awards party at Pyramid Brewery in SoDo, complete with free beer and Cliff bars - one teammate even won a raffle item!



Now that we have all the gear, watch for us on the road as we continue our dedication to bicycle commuting through the summer - and into next year where we plan to take the Commute Challenge again with an even bigger team!
