Olympic athletes are so darn disciplined, where do they get it from?! I managed to get myself in to a contest with my friend and Olympic silver medalist Dave Calder, he’s a rower from Victoria, BC. It’s not a rowing contest, I’m not that crazy, it’s a contest to see who can accumulate the most carbon friendly transportation km’s among our friends….and he’s already in the lead

So I need your help! Project Blue Sky has a beautiful widget (look to the right to see it in my blog) that you can use to track the number of green km’s you travel, for instance biking, walking, or transit’ing.

If you don’t do it for climate change, then maybe you can do it for my ego by going to Projectbluesky.ca, signing up, joining my team named “Alternative Approach”, then entering your km’s in the cool km tracking widget, be sure to enter my team/group name ALTERNATIVE APPROACH when you do so.

I chose that team name because I’m technically classified as an alternative sport athlete, and taking transit or riding your bike to the store/work/school is an ‘alternative’ approach to driving solo in your car.

Dave is already in the lead, and I only have one week to show him how transportation saavy my friends are.

Ride ON!!
