The annual Jlab Fall Cycling Commute Challenge (FCCC) is almost upon
us. The FCCC is meant to encourage sustained bike commuting
here at Jlab. Last year three of us tracked our bike commute days
from Labor day to the Winter Solstice. This is a particularly
challenging time span as it starts with late summer days in the
mid-90s, transitions through daylight savings time, and ends with
the sheer joy of bike commuting with temperatures in the 30s, rain
and darkness.<br>
<br>
With that in mind, I encourage everyone who participates to make
sure they have a safe (lights, reflectors) bike to carry them
through the challenge. <br>
<br>
This year I propose two awards:<br>
<ol>
<li><b>Highest percentage</b> of <b>scheduled days</b> commuted
to work by bicycle</li>
<li>Most bike commute miles</li>
</ol>
This is different than last year, where one of use was penalized due
to work related travel. So days where one is not schedule to be at
the lab (travel, vacation, sick) are not counted.<br>
<br>
I've developed a google-doc spreadsheet that will be used to track
everyone's progress, so if you are up to the challenge let me know
your gmail address and I'll share the spreadsheet with you.<br>
<br>
Awards??<br>
<b>Dave and Bill</b>: Is JAG or the JLAB sustainability office
willing to "support" the FCCC and provide incentives (aka as
prizes)? Otherwise it will have be an exchange of fermented malt
beverages again.<br>
