Summer Bike-To-Work Challenge II (Page 11)

3 more for me. Trying to get back on track. They have finally paved a more direct road that has been un-rideable for 2 years.

I haven't checked in the past couple of weeks. I'm up to 29 commutes now.

This week I have one commute that went back-to-back as I found out I was called off work after I arrived. Based on the average commute of my co-workers and the time I was called, most everyone would have been well on their way. They did apologize to me, though it was unnecessary. I thought it was great. I was awake, dressed to ride. and found myself with 12 free hours.

Put me down for two more bringing me to 28 of 50.  MS 150 ride Saturday/Sunday, so I'll probably start taper today and not commute on Friday.

jashac - 2007-07-12 3:02 PM SunnyS, you know if you are ever going to train that kitty to ride in a back pack, now is probably the time.     Then you'll always have someone to ride with.

You're brilliant, but you already know that...   thanks for the laugh! 

Cheers, -Sunny

Checkin-In - With the lunchtime trip home today it put me at 62. 

I think my 80 is very doable, but with vacation in August,100 might be tough.

Keep riding everyone (I hear gas prices might keep creeping up) 

2.5 for me this week.  Everybody's doing great! It's great to see all those numbers going up.

Hi everyone,

Someone told me it's "Waving Wednesday" so say hello to a fellow rider on your commute today!

I'm at 41 of 50 rides now, and with the weather so good, I'll probably ride each day this week. 

Be safe out there, and have fun, -Sunny

Rest day today.  Commute to work on bike, what a beautiful morning.  It feels like fall (for Midland) and yet it's still July.  We really haven't had much if any summer heat yet this year.  With morning clouds - unusual - and the cooler weather it really is feeling like fall.  We usually don't reallly see fall till October. 

I really enjoyed riding down tree lined residental streets in the shade and cool morning.  I was thinking I probably have - although not seinic - one of the best commutes.  I'm at 30 of 50.

3 rides this week.

I second what jashac says - it has been very mild for July (60 degrees Wednesday morning, I had to dig out my jacket!)  It's made the commutes very enjoyable.

Just a brief diversion from the thread please...

Have you all read this thread?  A young triathlete almost drowns, many complications, and a call for thoughts and prayers.

Wow! August already, only 1 more month. Don't worry if you're coming up short like I am, just keep riding as much as you can.

Congrats to comet for hitting his goal.
