I got the day off work on the 18th. I plan to see how many refresher stations I can swing by on a decent route. Last year I'd planned to do this and it rained, still rode but just headed to work.

It's a little late to propose this but 511.org (California commute site) has this contest going where you form teams of 5 riders, log your miles and compete for misc. schwag.

This goes in the vocabulary section but what's the orrigin of "schwag"?
