Yep! For me, It's all about the commuting miles. I kill two birds with on stone. I have to get to work, I need to ride my bike! Three quarters of my 3500 miles to date are commuting miles. I live only 3 miles from work but I have routes that give me up to 20 miles a day. Although I do feel like the village idoit as I wander around the northside of town.

I also have a very understanding husband who has picked up some of the slack at home and understands the concept of "the lived in look" of home decor. My daughter, who is 21, is old enough to look after herself and now that she has a steady boyfriend (who likes to MTB) she is rarely home.

With winters approach I will spend more quality time with my MP3 player and indoor trainer. Cold, yes. Rain, yes. Ice and snow, no!

It has taken me two and a half year to make excerise a priorty in my life. Thankfully, my family understand that. Even if they do, on occasion, question my sanity. bikerHen
