The Bike to Work Day Challenge prompts Santa Clarita businesses to rally the largest number of employees to bike to work. The competition will be broken down into three categories: small business (2-10 full-time employees), medium businesses (11-100 full-time employees), and large businesses (100 or more full- time employees).
All participating Bike to Work Day cyclists are also eligible to win additional prizes by registering at www.metro.net/biketowork. “The 2010 Bike to Work Day Challenge embodies Santa Clarita’s healthy lifestyle and offers the perfect opportunity for residents to enjoy the outdoors and get some fresh air on their way to work,” said Santa Clarita Mayor Laurene Weste. “Additionally, the businesses with the highest participation rate in each category will win a gift certificate to the restaurant of their choice and free frozen yogurt from Golden Spoon for all employees who participate.”
All Challenge participants are eligible for the City’s raffle for prizes including KHS bicycles, gift certificates, movie tickets, and more.
Several bicycle pit stops will be stationed across the City for cyclists to enjoy refreshments, get energized, receive giveaways, and information about cycling. The pit stops will be located at City Hall (23920 Valencia Blvd), Bouquet Junction (corner of Valencia Blvd & Bouquet Canyon Road.), the Trail Access at the corner of Newhall Avenue and 16th Street and Trail Access at the corner of Camp Plenty and Soledad Canyon.
