Hope you get one,

Question for ATA; if I join ATA at the Bike to Work Rally, do I get the sweet T-Shirt? I don't see a pit stop that will be convenient to my commute the rest of the week.
Permalink Reply by Madopal (7.6 mi) on June 13, 2012 at 11:55am Ethan, my company signed up late, and I just emailed the commuter address, but thought I'd ask here. I can probably get to either the north end LFP pit stop today or the one at Fullerton tomorrow AM. Is there a chance they'll still have leader packets at those? And if not, can I still possibly get a leader packet at your office on Friday? I'm heading down to the rally, so I should be able to stop by after that if the stuff would be avail.
BTW, we're (Raw Thrills) chasing you guys. Tomorrow we could crack 40% participation. You'd better get those 19 riders going by Friday!
Also, some feedback: there seems to be confusion on the challenge site over what a "commute" is. Even though you list round trip for mileage, I'm seeing lots of people on other teams logging each leg of a commute as a separate commute. Perhaps there's some way next year you can make that clearer on how to log it on the site?
Permalink Reply by Melanie K on June 13, 2012 at 12:08pm Actually, I noticed there was a slight glitch which may have already been corrected on the site regarding the roundtrip commute- it was showing my commutes twice, so I had to go in and delete one of them as it looked like I was doing double the mileage. This didn't happen today, but it happened on Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks to you and Melanie for passing on the reporting feedback. We had a wonderful volunteer who built the system for us this year and we're still making some tweaks. I'll pass this on.
Happy bike to work week!
Thanks,
Ethan, Active Trans
