After week 1 of the Rust Belt Rivalry, PGH is on top; but CLE is close at our heels!
The National Bike Challenge has been running for 1 week, but its not too late to sign up and help PGH beat CLE for the Rust Belt Crown! After week 1, Pittsburgh is out front; but only by a hair. Who knows what tricks our rival has in their handlebar bags.
So far our PGH team has registered nearly 1,000 riders, logged almost 30,000 miles and saved nearly $5,000 from riding. HOWEVER! Only 600 Pittsburghers have logged miles! Be sure your friends and team mates log their miles at www.NationalBikeChallenge.org
