any plans for bike to work day?

[CorsairMac]

no plans for me, i work from home, so it would be a pretty short ride..

maybe you could ride that day and carry some work with you on the bike........a kinda "virtual" ride to work day!

That's MY STATION you're talking about! I thought it was Thursday May 19th, but Friday May 20th is fine too! Did you want some cookies while I'm at it?

Yes, cookies! But the date is indeed the 19th! I'm not sure what we're handing out and who else will be handing out stuff. I should know more early this next week........

call me when you get there!

Somewhere I have a cell phone # for you---I think its in my datebook. I'll call you from my bus, how's that!

Hmmm cookies......

Here's another Sacramento, CA area website:

I signed up with Kaiser Permanente as my employer and Sacramento Bike Hikers for my club. The Bike Hikers have the most club miles so far!!!

I can only ride to work a few days a month. I get off at 11pm, and the main road home has a few miles of open land, that is scary. Seriously if someone were to bump me off in that area, no one would find me for months.... When I do ride in, I have someone pick me up....I know it kinda defeats part of the purpose, but I'd rather live to ride another day!!! Last week, I had a chicken almost run me into the road!!! I was totally not expecting her to be there...whew!!!

I'm an in-home personal trainer, so getting to my clients homes with all my equipment on my bike isn't doable (they'd be pretty upset with my lateness too!), however, I plan on "biking to work" for my gym jobs which means I'll be riding my bike to teach an indoor cycling class...ironic somehow huh?

Hill Slug near miss "Last week, I had a chicken almost run me into the road!!! I was totally not expecting her to be there...whew!!! "

why did the chicken cross the road?

[CorsairMac]

Loved that Trek! I was thinking more along the lines of "Ahhhhhh, free dinner!".

[Hill Slug]

why did the chicken cross the road?

She actually didn't cross the road, just came up on the shoulder, then back down in the drainage ditch....So maybe, I scared her too!!!!

Almost any day I ride I carry my work with me in a trailer. He's great company with his songs and comments (go faster momma, faster). Ahhh, the life of the stay at home mom has precious little to do with bonbons (unless they need to be cleaned up after).

What an Awesome visual Sing!!....thanks for ending my evening with an "awww smile"!

Well, in an attempt to ride every day of "Bike to Work Week", I'm only 20% at this point.

It was pouring yesterday morning, so that made it a no-go.

I rode today and got soaked coming home (at least the morning commute was dry-ish).

This rainy rainy rainy is making me mopey mopey mopey. I was going to extend my ride this evening on the way home but decided food and a fire were better (I don't ever remember having to light fires in May before. What's wi' dat?).

Even the dog is mopey 'cuz we can't go out and play with the flying squirrel.

And it's supposed to rain the rest of the week, though there's only a 20% chance of rain for Friday

So I guess I'll wait until morning to decide if I should break out the raingear or get in my car and drive to work.

I feel like I'm back livin' in the PNW. (Except that this year they've been getting our weather, I hear. Hope they are enjoying it!)

Ahhh... the beauty of a very short commute and fenders. I manage to ride even in a downpour. But I have increased my commute to be 1.9 miles each way rather than 1.6. That will give me three more miles a week, 12 miles a month. I was very excited to see the new route was a tad longer and it's still almost all downhill to work. Can't get all sweaty before school even starts you know.

And kids complain that they won't use all this math in real life .

the weather here has been gorgeous, sunny, clear, highs in the lower 80s climbing to the upper 80s by Fri....now before ya'll smack me - the winds on the other hand, haven't been Out of the single digits since I can't even remember when. My commute home the last 2 nights has been in 35+ mph wind gusts! I would Love the rain if it meant the darn wind would just stop blowing!! I just keep telling myself it's a form of strength training (but it ain't working! )

My plans include getting up waaaay too early and meet one of the members of the Velogirls at a BART station. The timing requires me to be 3 trains before I would normaly arrive at BART. Then we'll breeze through about 3 refresher stations. Will Trek wake up in time? will she fall over riding without adequate coffee? Will I chicken out at the first rain drop? Stay tuned.
