HDAE Rides the Roads

Over 4000 miles in the Month of May!

Housing, Dining & Auxiliary Enterprises staff members finished up a fun Cyclemaynia Challenge. There were three teams riding their bikes for the month of May. This was part of a Santa Barbara countywide program organized by Traffic Solutions. Miles were tracked and the 30 participants logged more than 4000 miles!

Top cyclists in HDAE were:

  • Ken Ardry, Residential Operations: 551 miles
  • Doug Hatt, Transportation & Parking Services: 459.4 miles
  • Leslie Ramirez, Residential Operations: 381 miles
  • Tony Almanza, Transportation & Parking Services: 307.5 miles

How far is 4,462.68 miles? HDAE bike riders rode the equivalent miles to Chicago, Illinois AND back! Great job to all the riders and to the winning team, A Vicious Cycle.

Speaking of cycling... are you heading over to a meeting? Or to the other side of campus? Ride one of our bikes (first photo pictured above) and get some fresh air! You can check one out, along with a helmet, at the Residential Operations Service Center. UCSB has also implemented an inexpensive bike share program via Hopr, which you can read all about in the UCSB Current article "Share and Share A Bike".

Enjoy the ride while reducing fossil fuel use and pollution... together we can make a difference!
