How We Stack Up Nationally
Philadelphia was the 71st community (out of 629)
Pennsylvania finished 7th among states
New Jersey finished 40th

Congratulations to August's prize winners: Carsten Skarke, Cynthia  Grossman, Steve  Masters, Bronwen  Per-Lee, Laura Rennekamp, Nick Kerr, and Andrew Schmidt.

Thank you to everyone who participated and help stake the Philadelphia area's claim as one of the most active-bicycling places in the country!

The Challenge is over but the Endomondo app lives on. Keep riding and keep logging your miles if it feels good! The Challenge will return next spring.
