2009-2010 Fall/Winter Commuter Challenge is on!

[out_spokin']

Hi everyone,
First frost for my commute in this morning! Must be time to get this challenge properly recorded.

Here’s who/what I have so far:

• out_spokin’: 75% of office days, 1 car-free weekday/week
• Yelsel: 3x/week if possible, 2x at worst
• TriGirl: 2x/week, rockin’ the new lobster gloves
• Biciclista: rockin’ the dark & dry days
• GLC1968: 1 full or 2 split commutes/week, rockin’ the 20 mile OW commute
• Kfergos: TBA, rockin’ the new bicycle advocacy job in a new city
• Tulip: 3x/week when not on the road (travelling that is, not the bike-type road)
• Malkin: to commute again, rockin’ the recovery
• Jenerator: daily, except when on call or travel
• 7rider: riding when possible, forget about those icy snowy days
• Grog: 80% active commuting, rockin’ 3x/week on the bike, running 1x/week
• Becky: riding to the weekend job as possible
• Medianox: at least 1 day out of 3, when the fog isn’t pea soup thick
• bikerHen: continuing her 5x/week commute, with an out for freezy feet days
• Voodoo Sally: continuing 5x/week through December, hoping to rock a mild winter for more

Check in regularly, let us know how it’s going, share successes, challenges, encouragement, crazy weather pictures, whatever! Thanks for joining in (and if you haven’t already joined, name a goal and jump on in!)

I'll jump on the bandwagon as well. Thanks!

Been biking to work everyday since '95. Only time that ever stop me was last year's deep snow and lack of snow removal at the side street. Heck! Even cars had a trouble of getting around.

So far my goal will be the same. Ride 5 times a week. If it snow, I hope to ride as well until the road is too dangerous. Then maybe snowshoe?

[Biciclista]

Three commutes this week! no rain, but plenty of dark and cold!
and tonight will complete my 98th commute of the year.

Count me in. Since I normally work 4 days a week, it will hopefully be 4 times on the bike. The only time I don't commute by bike is if my work schedule prevents it. And I don't plan on being on the bike in ice, snow, pouring rain, etc.

[Tri Girl]

Commuted 3 times this week (out of 4 days of work). Guess I need to get fenders on my Bike Friday because my bike is getting wrecked from all the rain and road grime. Been cold and wet- but I love EVERY minute of it!!!

How did I miss this thread earlier?

I commuted 2 days out of 4 this week to the FT job, and will likely ride to work tomorrow (Saturday). Just 200 more miles and I'll have 1000 commuting miles this year, so I'm motivated to keep riding!!
