Ah. Yeah… T’was me. I almost died laughing right here at the office. I was really looking forward to a Jersey or lights.
Great job, Pete! Undoubtedly the most coveted prize available. I’m glad it went to one of our top ranked riders. You earned it! Another Bike Arlington All Star, Jesse Bullinger won a set of lights. Congrats, Jesse!

Please provide details on the award. Yeah I know it is a year’s worth of TP but I’ve mused on the logistical arrangements. Is it a big honkin’ box in your basement, a monthly shipment, or a book of coupons that can be used at the local store? And how do they know how much you use? Some previously undisclosed aspect of the NSA PRISM program we have been hearing about?
Inquiring minds want to know.
As of yet, I have NO IDEA! Seeing the prize board this morning was the first – and so far only – notice I’ve had of the prize so far.

Peter, if you would. and thank you!
To Jesse: you do know that TP > Lights in rock/paper/scissors, right? Anybody can see that TP wraps around lights till you can’t see the light anymore!!

The Federal Bike Challenge is now complete. The voting has been locked. The Grand Stands have been taken down and shipped back to Cleveland.
The linked to spread sheet contains a draft of the results of the Federal Bike Challenge for Washington, D.C. offices.
Okay, lots of clarifications:
First, who is a Washington, D.C. Fed agency. I have no idea. A weakness of this challenge is it lacked geographic info (assuming that we were all in Seattle I suppose). You could not sort teams based on geography and there was all but no geo information on the team page. So, I, er, guessed. If I guessed wrong, let me know. Included someone who is actually a Guam team? I can take them off. Didnt include someone cause I could not figure out your cryptic team name; I can add them.
Scoring. Well this is a bit odd and there is much guidance from the challenge. There twas miles ridden, trips commuted, and percentage of commutes that was by bicycle. So what does that add up to? I created a cumulative score. I ranked all the teams by miles (first to last); I ranked all the teams by trips; I ranked all the times by percentages of commutes by bike – added up those rankings – and the team with the lowest score was got first place. This seemed to work.
Comments?

Looks good! I’m not sure I understand the scoring, but I like the results
Our humble team of un-elite bureaucrats did better than I thought it would. Thanks for putting this together. I couldn’t find the “official” results anywhere on the website.I was a bad teammate last week. Between work, weather and being sick, I didn’t ride for 8 days (I had some kind of summer cold that felt like the flu). I dropped around 2,500 spots in the GC. I’m clawing my way back though….made up probably 1,000 spots so far. Tonight was a sleaze ride but needed the points.

I feel your pain. I dropped like 1000 spots just missing 3 days due to a broken seat post.
