If you don't have a bike computer, you can see Alter Ego for one. And if you mention 'Winnipeg's Biggest Loser', they'll even install it for free.

You can also enter a personal fitness goal on-line (ie. "I want to lose 10 pounds"), and if Alter Ego draws your name May 15 (and you've followed through), you can win over $500 in prizes!
