The results of the Weisse Arena Group
This year, slightly fewer employees from the Weisse Arena Group took part than in previous years. A total of 26 participants in seven teams traveled to work on two wheels. This saved 449 kilograms of CO2.
Of the seven teams in the Weisse Arena Group, Jerry Racing (Simone Oestreicher, Mirjam Gloor, Remo Schöpfer) was the most successful. Second place went to the Turboschnecken (Sarina Oechslin, Ornella Carigiet, Bianca Schmid, Belinda Ardüser) took second place, followed by the "Höfliche Wölfe" (Corinna Engelmann, Patrick Hug, Reto Fry, Clemens Geisser). The members of these teams cycled to work almost every day – in heat and cold, wind and rain. Simone Oestreicher from Team Jerry Racing came out on top in the individual rankings. Sarina Oechslin was the most diligent member of the Turboschnecken team, while Corinna Engelmann cycled to work most often in the Höfliche Wölfe team. Congratulations to the best teams!
Regardless of whether they made it to the top of the rankings or not, all 26 participants from the Weisse Arena Group played their part in reducing CO2 emissions for a short time and doing something good for the environment. Some of them will certainly continue to leave their cars at home in future and get pedaling instead. In our beautiful surroundings, that's not so difficult.
