Green Miles

Note: TCBC Green Miles has been updated with all new features. If you participated in the past and you don’t see your account, you need to follow Number 1 below and create an account. Once you do, e-mail Edward Eroe at Greenmiles@BikeTCBC.org and your previous information will be loaded.

The Twin Cities Bicycle Club Green Miles Program was a new addition to our club in 2022, so together we can help reduce greenhouse gases. This is a voluntary opt-in program that records the mileage of those participating TCBC Member riders that ride to and from TCBC Club Rides rather than driving.

1. 1. To sign up for the program, simply sign-in to your TCBC Account, which is the same as logging into the TCBC Forum. The direct link to sign in or to create a new account is at this link: https://biketcbc.org/sign-in/
   2. Log in to the website and submit your Green Miles on the Entry Form below. All the information will need to be filled out each time and is required so that it will be easy to create reports. There is not a link to the Ride Stats program at this time.
   3. Submit only the miles to and from an official TCBC Ride that you have officially registered for and were at the ride start for the ride briefing. If you cut off early from the TCBC Ride, or do not go back to the ride start area, then deduct those miles from the Green Miles you are submitting. Additionally, if you are riding several extra miles to get to and from the ride, please deduct those. Only the most reasonable shortest safest routes are to be used for calculating the Green Miles. Note: if the TCBC Ride is cancelled, and you did ride to the start, unfortunately those miles cannot be counted, as Green Miles need to be attached to actual official TCBC Ride Miles.
   4. This program is on your honor, and the main purpose is to see how much fuel and greenhouse gases we together reduce as a club by members riding their bikes to and from official club rides rather than driving. The top three Green Mile Male and Female riders will be recognized at the end of each TCBC ride year.
   5. Make sure you follow excellent safety practices as you would on a regular TCBC Club Ride and that you choose the safest routes. TCBC Insurance is not provided for Green Miles.
   6. There is an Optional Strava TCBC Green Miles Group. If you are on Strava, please join this group. It is members only, so you can request membership and approval will be given. A great way to see how your fellow Green Milers are doing. The TCBC Green Miles Strava Group is at this link: https://www.strava.com/clubs/992071
   7. A new feature will be that you can view all your entries back from when the program was started and sort data by date. There will no longer be archives as all the data is available in real time. The detail for all entries is available to all Green Mile riders.
      Thank you for participating. If you have any further questions, please e-mail Edward Eroe at Greenmiles@BikeTCBC.org

* Please note, I enter my Green Miles but am not eligible for recognition as one of the top riders.
