Cycle Instead in Spring

Bike to Work Challenge 5 September to 6 October

It’s time to pull that ‘treadlie’ out of the shed, blow off the dust, grease up the chain and join (or form!) a Murdoch University team for the annual Bike to Work Challenge and free Bike to Work Breakfast.

Murdoch University is encouraging staff and students to participate in the Bike to Work Challenge as part of its commitment to encourage staff and students to use alternatives to cars.

The Challenge runs from Monday 5th September to Sunday 16th October, but you can join in at any time. You don't need to ride far or often; just ride when you can and build up your kilometres, and earn extra points by recruiting new riders. Prizes are available for female, male and novice rider categories.

Bike To Work Breakfast

The popular and fun Bike to Work Breakfast is on again, 12th October from 8.00am - 9.30am in Bush Court, at the South Street campus. All riders can enjoy a free, healthy breakie and prizes for best team and individual distances (as of 7th October). Spot prizes are also up for grabs for the fanciest helmet and other fun categories!
