whee - winter campaign!

[nuthatch]

So THAT'S what I've been doing wrong for Bike to Work week at my office! No prizes! Maybe if I offer prizes I'll get someone besides me to participate!

Thanks for the picture - It's always fun to see someone's set up for riding in the cold.

Well, actually, in my original e-mail invitation I pointed out that the only thing one could win was street cred and the adoration of incredulous colleagues

But the company "sports organization", no idea how to translate that one, (athletic society?) wanted to offer prizes, I think reflective vests and blinky lights.

I don't really expect anyone else to sign up, but we do get some nice PR.

Heck, I'm impressed with your company having some sort of employee health program. The only approved exercise at my small company is walking from your desk to the kitchen for coffee and cake!

Good luck with your recruiting!

Great pic!!!

Gear is everything I'm so grateful for my gore-tex gift... it's made it possible to stay ahead of Howard in mileage a few more days because a few gusts and drizzles don't get in my way...

[nuthatch]

It's gonna gust you right into a field today! 45 mph gusts up here in north IL.

lph - love the pic. You look toasty warm.

only 39 here. (MPH; a balmy 41 degrees... oh, and raining of course!)

29 without the gusts - that 3/4 mile right into it was definitely tough!!! But ALL TO STAVE OFF HOWARD for another day... (233 miles ahead of him at this point).

He says he's doing a century Satuardya... so one of the guys in a somewhat nearby town in IL might be coming by to join me in doing one here! (Winds should be 10 mph... NUTHIN!!!) Of course, *he* has admitted his wife will be riding support and may even ride him out 100 miles and have him ride back with the wind! No problema... (though I ***am*** doing my level best to send at least a minor snowstorm to Fort Collins!!!)
