I have an exciting upcoming event – as the subject line implies – to announce.  Tuesday, 4 October, is Bike-to-Campus Day at U of M!!  Look, we even have a poster!!!

I’m more-or-less the organizer of this thing.  We had our first bike-to-campus day last year, again in conjunction with Tiger Blue Goes Green Day, and about a dozen people participated.  I’m hoping for more this time, which is where you, dear reader, come in.

I know that most of you reading this blog don’t work at U of M, so it doesn’t make any sense for you to actually participate.  But you likely know someone who does work at the University. So please, take a moment and share this post on your facebook, or forward it to a friend.  Or, better still, send them the link to the official facebook event.

As the poster indicates, we have two group rides that morning.  One leaves from First Congo at 8:00 AM; I’m leading that one.  Brian Janz, a colleague of mine, is leading one from near Shelby Farms down the Greenline.

The rides culminate with a group picture on campus.  I’d really like to have 25+ people there.  Help me spread the word and we’ll make it happen.

And of course, if you do work at U of M, please join us for this day.  You don’t have to do a group ride, just be at the fountain at 8:30 AM.
