May 12-16 is Bike/Bus/Walk to Work Week. Sign up if you haven't. I'm my companies sole participant. Though after a little more research carpooling counts so I might get a few more signed up. We're quite away from the SPR so its a haul. For me its about 43 kilometers one way. Makes a nice double training day, except I have to hit the road by 4:30 to make it to work in time to shower & make coffee before my 6:30am start time. Then I work till 5pm & ride home making it about 6:30pm when I get home. Makes for a long day, but hey I'm getting in the kilometers. I've been doing it now for a couple of weeks. Usually I'll ride 3 days to work. This week I'm shooting for all 5 if the rain holds off. Had a close call last night but managed to stay dry even though the skies got really dark. One plus besides kilometers is gas savings. A conservative estimate is I'm saving about $150/ month in gas. That's almost a new CX bike by CX season. Sweet!
good for you, wish my workplace was a little more bike friendly, oh well. I know a great tire salesman that you could get some tires from.
ReplyDeleteHey, nice job! I rode my bike 1 time this week. It is a start I guess. I had to knock off the dust and put some serious air in the tires. I bet that is a nice training ride, especially carrying a bag!

That's a big savings! Crazy how that adds up.
ReplyDeleteI had a dream the other nite about an XC.
Mikey was I in it? If so stop dreaming about me you perv. Must be the altitude. I always have weird dreams @ altitude. Would explain a 5 year period of my life which was spent above 7500'
ReplyDeleteRyan I can't buy anything from someone who claims to be the smartest person they know.
ReplyDeleteNo Scott you were not in it but you might have been symbolically.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have my fair share of car dreams. The Porsche 928 was such a common subject that after battling the frustration I finally bought one. Then after selling that particular car and having more 928 dreams, I bought another. Talk about dream fulfillment!
Another car subject is the BMW M5.Now if I could just get rid of the subject of showing up at pro bike races with concrete wheels!
Give a more detailed route. What roads are you riding in on? We could be crossing paths in the morning.
