National Ride to Work day - Roundup

The inaugural National Ride to Work Day has exceeded our expectations in terms of registration numbers, media interest and senior management endorsement. We've been bowled over by the huge effort people like you have made to make this day really count.

The official stats are:
Over 3000 workplace coordinators
More than 70 community breakfasts around Australia
More than 30,000 registrations so far - stay tuned for final figures!
Up to 90,000 participants Australia-wide - based on 2/3 of participants not taking the final step and registering

Do you know participants in your organisation who rode to work today but didn't register? Can you help us by encouraging them to sign up? Registrations are open until 5pm, 24 October 2007. All registrants will still be eligible to win one of the 14 TREK bikes, and they'll increase your chances of winning a prize in the TravelSmart Workplace Challenge.

At this stage, we encourage you to send people directly to the registration page https://ride2work.bv.com.au/home.

Thanks for helping us to build the foundations for an ever bigger event in 2008. We'd like you to be among the first to know that National Ride to Work Day 2008 will be on Wednesday 15 October. Put it in your calendars now and get it into your organisation's calendar for next year.

Many thanks for your part in the success of the inaugural national event.
