Last year the Med Center finished second to Union Pacific. The challenge gets tougher this year with the addition of Alegent Health.  <\/p>\n<p>Wayne Sensor, Alegent CEO, said he was certain his employees could amass more employee miles than UNMC riders.  <\/p>\n<p>Pellerito would like UNMC riders to prove him wrong. <\/p>\n<p>For $10 employees can register and receive a t-shirt. Registration is free for employees who don&#8217;t want a shirt. All funds raised by the Corporate Cycling Challenge will go to Eastern Nebraska Trails Network for trail development in the Omaha metropolitan area.<\/p>\n<p>Participants can register up to the day of the event, but to order a t-shirt with the UNMC logo on it the registration deadline is Monday, July 23.  Riders are urged to register before the event to allow for food planning at the picnic.<\/p>\n<p>A free picnic with hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken breasts for medical center cyclists will follow at Miller&#8217;s Landing on the Missouri River just north of the finish line. <\/p>\n<p>Participants may choose to ride the Olde River Ride (10 miles), Riverside Ride (25 miles) or Tour De Fort (42 miles). All tours begin and end at Omaha&#8217;s Heartland of America Park at 8th and Farnam streets. <\/p>\n<p>Employees who ride farther than they did last year or recruit an employee who didn&#8217;t participate last year will earn an incentive prize. The Employee Rider Incentive Program request form is due by Aug. 6. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to these incentives there is an opportunity to win a Giant Cyprus bike valued at $350. <\/p>\n<p>At the turnaround point cyclists must check-in to have earn opportunity to win the bike. The more miles employees ride, the more chances they have to win. <\/p>\n<p>The first place winner of each corporate division will receive a Corporate Team Trophy and each individual rider will receive an appreciation gift from the Eastern Nebraska Trails Association, the ride organizers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The event is a tour and not a race, riders of all abilities can participate,&#8221; Pellerito said. &#8220;We&#8217;re interested in participation and employee miles. If you can pedal a bike, you can participate in this fun-filled challenge.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Contact Pellerito at 559-5253 or <a href=\"mailto:ppellerito@unmc.edu\">ppellerito@unmc.edu<\/a> with questions.
