RULES
RULES
Basics:
Ride your bike to work and/or back. Give your miles each day to your captain or enter them yourself in the Miles Diary Page. http://kcbike.info/kcbcc/
3 Catagories! The Team, Individual and New Commuters with the most total miles wins. New Commuters will have their own competition.
What is a New Commuter:
If you've commuted to work by bike less than 10 times a year, then you are a New Commuter.
What is a Mile:
A mile is any mile commuting to or from work on your bike or by walking. If you use the bus the miles count as half (example: 10 miles on the bus will be typed into your total as 5 miles).
What Miles Count:
Miles to and from work count. Some errand miles can count. Doing laps around the city to boost your miles is super uncool. Training rides are training, not commuting (but keep training). Simply put, If you're replacing your car with a bike in your commute that counts. ie, If you go to the grociery store, or If you meet people for dinner on the way home, that's fine.
PLAY FAIR. if your team isn't performing, it's your job to motivate them, or get more people on the team. You don't have to be Captain to get co-workers and friends involved.
Who can be on my Team:
Anyone and everyone. Get your family, friends, neighbors to join. Your teammates don't have to work together. if you're in a book club... turn it into a team. I'm lookin' at you fantasy baseballers.
Team Size Limit:
Their is no limit to team size! If you have a monster giant team, why not split it in half and compete against each other. or two hardcore riders compete to see who can gather the largest team or make the most miles. get creative.
Odd work Schedules:
The web site spreadsheet will only count Monday-Friday. If you work, let's say, Tuesday- Saturday, take your miles from the Saturday before, the 13th, and put it in the Monday slot. If you work 6 days during the week, only 5 count.
Frankie says Relax:
We will be getting stats from the captains about the teams. At the end of the week we will publish all kinds of stats and facts. You may not get the most miles, but you may get most employee participation... etc. we'll find the angles, you just have fun.
#1RULE: You know when you're cheating. DON'T DO IT! "miles padders" will be mocked. And I will come up with a more humiliating term than "miles padders".
I you have any questions, or need more info email me.

Eric and I are doing this at the last minute just so the event keeps going. so...sorry... we got no prizes.
You will have bragging rights and every one at work will think you are a champion. also I'll buy the winning team captain a beer.

"Miles Padders" --- do you think it would be a good idea to have folks register their routes? Could use work address/home address to figure mileage as the crow flies - and the compute something that would be a plus/minus of that crow-flies distance to be considered a reasonable mileage between those two locations. I get the impression that there was a lot of mileage padding happening last year - people getting a metric on the way home from work, etc. Just a thought -- there are even map websites that allow you to capture and measure a route -- each person sould have to go to this site, plot their route, and submit it for approval. Just thinking out loud... kG
excuse my many typos... ugh.
I agree with you cdude, I notice their is one person in particular that seems to somehow have his mileage increase considerably on the last day of the challenge. Surprise it has never been caught.
