    Bike To Work Festivities?

    Anyone got anything special going on for Bike To Work Day? Ours is tomorrow, and there will be free coffee/giveaways, the chance to ride with the mayor to city hall, and a big block party in the afternoon. It's supposed to be beautiful here tomorrow, so I'm really looking forward to partaking in the fun.

    I'm leading a bike commuter convoy to downtown where the Mayor will speak, the media will be there, and then the Mayor will get on his bike and ride to city all with all of us in tow.

    I don't know when it is here, but I haven't ridden to work this week. This cold rain is atrocious. I can take one or the other, but I've had it...drove all week

    So on that note, I hope ours is a) not tomorrow and b) has something cool planned that I find out about ahead of time.

    Portland, OR's is tomorrow. There is a big info gathering from 9-1 with speakers, information booths and the like.

    Specific to our work, we are having a waffle and fruit breakfast for the bike commuters coming that day, hopefully adding a few new riders. To help the curious, we had a bike commuting brown bag on monday to answer questions.

    Weather-wise, we are suppose to have another awesome, dry spring day.

    I've been talking up Bike to Work Day at my office and promised food for anyone who rides in - fruit, muffins, juice, granola bars. We're doing it tomorrow. But wouldn't you know it, despite living in a very dry part of the world, it's been cold and rainy all week. I mean really rainy. Tomorrow is only a 50% chance of more rain but morning temps will be in the 40s. I know at least 3 of us will ride, but quite possibly no one else. Oh well, granola bars keep.

    What's wrong with this picture? The Portland & Seattle women are posting about beautiful spring days while those of us in Colorado & Utah are suffering through cold & rain. Portland & Seattle women, won't you please take your weather back.

    I think we've had SO MUCH MORE than our fair share ...first 70 degree day today since... last September I think? First four days in a row of sunshine since... I don't know, I can't remember back that far!

    Alas though, I think it will be our turn again by Sunday.
