Summer Bike-To-Work Challenge II (Page 12)

As of today, I'm 8 out of 20.

Couldn't bike for a few weeks because of the broken big toe but if I do three commutes per week in August, I'll be right on for my July/August goal!

Got 5 commutes in this week and 14 work days left in the challenge. I should hit my stated goal, but my overall optimistic goal seems like a stretch and my "mid range" goal is a little on the high side too but still reachable.

73/80 as of tonight.

Everyone, you are doing great things!  Keep it up through August and beyond 

Here are the stats as of Sunday night.

Rode in today, and I got a couple this weekend, puts me up to 37 of 50.  Of course summer doesn't really end here in West Texas.  So September 1 is just a date to reset the counter.  Although if everything works out I may just make the 50.  When you start to get close - that's when the challenge really kicks in.

25 days left in the challenge!

Only 1 ride for me this week - the heat this week was brutal.

Don't worry if you set yourself an overly ambitious goal - just ride as much as you can.

Of course, everyone is welcome to keep up the bike commuting for as long as the weather allows.

Hey bike commuters,

I was up at 41 a few weeks ago (see p.9) but am now proud to say that I made my full 50 commutes as of last Friday, Aug 17. I'm a finisher -- yay!

I'm even happier to say that I gave it my best today at Timberman 70.3, even though a spectacular finish wasn't in the cards. The bike had been rough, and the run, worse. At least I finished.

Cheers, -Sunny

P.S. Tim - how nice that you have a well-paved direct route now; it's like the town has lain out the "red carpet" for you!

P.P.S. I still have the mom-cat and kitten that I got from the shelter in July. They're keepers now, no more foster pet-parenting for us. That doesn't mean we're going to ride around with them in backpacks anytime soon though. Maybe panniers or a basket?
