If this is your first time here:

Click on Log in or Register (here, or in the top bar on the Home page) and fill in the required information. Optionally choose a team from the drop-down menu. If you don't see your team or want to start a new team, you can create one after registering, and then add yourself to it on your account page. There is no requirement to be part of a team, but it can be more fun! Please look carefully for your team in the drop-down menu before creating a new team- duplicate teams are a pain! Thanks!
Next, you can optionally add a child to your account. This is different than creating a team. This feature is to allow children or others without their own email account to participate in the BCC.

Make sure the check box "Show this user's rides on their team" is checked, unless you prefer that your team mates not see your rides attributed to you.

Finally, if you see an anti-bot math question, answer that to prove you're not a robot, and click the blue "Register and Join a Team!" button. A confirmation link will be sent to your email (If you don't see it within a few minutes, please check your spam or junk folder). Click on the link in the email to activate your account.

If you already have an account here: Log in, and log your rides! Only rides logged in February will count towards your Winter BCC total, and rides in May and on the Earth Day Market Ride will count towards your May BCC total. You may log your rides anytime year-round for your own purposes, and they will accrue to your Account Totals.

To join a team or change teams, go to your Account page, click Edit My Profile. In the Rider(s) section, click the Edit button to the right of your user name (next to the red Remove button) and choose your team from the drop down menu, then click the blue Save button at the bottom of the page.

• To join a team when creating your account, simply choose your team's name from the drop-down menu in the form, as part of your registration process.
• To join a team or change teams when you already have an account, go to your Account page, click Edit My Profile.

Being on a team is not required, but can add an element of community and fun! 

A team must consist of more than one member. Teams with only one member will not be recognized by the BCC as a team, and can't win team prizes or recognition. If you create a team, get busy and recruit some team mates :-) Thanks for understanding!

1. You can only create a new team if you have an account, and are logged in.
2. Click on Account, and then Edit My Profile. 
3. Click the Edit button to the right of your user name in the Riders section of your account page.
4. Please look carefully in the Team drop-down on your account page to make sure you are not about to duplicate an existing team. Duplicate teams are a headache, so thanks for understanding!
5. You will see a link: "To create your own new team, click here". 
6. Click the link and enter a team name, and an optional description of your team. Click the blue Save button.
7. Your team is now created, but you still need to add yourself to it. Click the Edit button next to your user name again, choose your new team from the Team drop-down, and select your team. Then click Save.
8. Recruit members, log your rides, and Go Team!! Only teams with more than one member can win prizes.

There's no requirement to join a team but many people find it more fun and motivating to be part of a team. Teams require two or more people and can be made up of coworkers, class mates, friends or family. To win team prizes, teams must be registered with the BCC. Teams can win prizes in the following categories:

• Most days ridden per team
• Most miles ridden per team
• Highest average miles per team
• Highest average days ridden per rider
• Most new riders recruited

The Winter BCC runs for the month of February, celebrating Winter Bike to Work Day on the third Friday.

The Earth Day Market Ride is the Kick-off event for the May BCC, on the third Saturday in April.

The May BCC runs during the month of May, celebrating National Bike To Work Day on the third Thursday.

Anyone with a mailing address in Thurston County, WA can participate and win prizes in the BCC.

Everyone wins in the BCC! Everyone who reports miles gets coupons and everyone is entered into prize drawings.

We want people to try biking for transportation and health. For people who are new to bicycling, this will be a challenge. We also want people to come back every year motivated to try harder and bike more. People who bike 10 or more days get an extra page of coupons, and will be entered to win extra prizes. Bike 15 days or more to be entered to win our grand prize bike trip with Adventure Cycling. Also, teams compete for prizes and recognition based how many new riders they recruit, and how many days and miles their members ride.
