May Is (still) Bike Month

Attention GEARs Members

Due to the sheltering restrictions still in place we are not producing a ride schedule for the month of May. We look to the “powers that be” for the go-ahead get back to officially riding together again and publishing a ride schedule. For now we have “Rides Un-scheduled,” a list of 31 rides for the Month of May with no leader and no start time. Do some (or all) these rides (and others!) on your own as we celebrate May is Bike Month. And we have a little incentive to get GEARs members rolling — as if the pleasure of pedaling isn’t enough already!

May is Bike Month Contest
Just for fun, we are adding a contest to this month’s activities. Here’s how it’ll work. Beginning May 1st, I will track your cycling milage that you send to me.

For GEARs members, we will have weekly drawings for $5.00 gift cards to a local coffee shop, with 3 winners each week. The drawing dates will be May 9th, May 16th, May 23 and June 1st.

Weekly submissions will need to be sent in by the end of the following days: May 8th, May 15th, May 23rd and May 31st.

Email your miles either daily or weekly to May2020@eugenegears.org. You can either send a note with your name, date, miles and type of miles (recreational or commuting) or, if it’s easier send a picture of your computer at the end of your ride.

The last week week of May we will do 3 more drawings for $10.00 gift cards plus award the top milage rider, top female milage rider and the most commuting miles. You need to have submitted at least 2 rides per week to be eligible. However, the more rides you submit the more entries you have for winning.

Per Governor’s order, we encourage you to continue to ride on your own, in small groups with your friends and maintain your physical distance whether commuting or recreationally cycling. Winners will be listed on the GEARs website weekly.
Pedal forward!
