Bike To Work Month!

[kelownagirl]

Well I rode to school (work) despite the fact that it took a LOT of reorganizing of my life to do so. I had an eye appt 15 minutes after work and DH had an appt after work as well. We all rode to school together in the morning (only 3.5km), then he rode home and got the van and picked up my son (who can't handle the looooong climb home). I rode like the wind to my eye appt after school (only 5km. )Then I rode from there to the YMCA (12km) so I could do my 1200m swim workout. Then I rode 10km downtown to meet DH and son at son's baseball game. Grabbed a sandwich along the way because it was 6pm by the time I got there. Watched the game and threw my bike in the car to come home. 32km for the day. Sigh. I don't think I do this everyday. The hard part was trying to figure out how to carry all my stuff and what stuff I could leave at home.

Yea, commuting does take committment. If it's raining dogs and cats first thing in morning.. I don't kid myself. I don't bike. Already my commute without bike takes 1.5 hrs. one-way. With bike part-way, it's 2 hrs. 1-way. Sometimes I question my sanity.....

I have to leave home at around 5:30 am....regardless of bike or no bike....so no point making myself miserable, if I start off wet as a dog.

And yes, there 1-2 guys who live not far from me and they commute by car to same place. But I'd rather be free to travel on my own time..and I know they would also...since they work more bizarre after-hrs. compared to me.

My office has two teams - and the team with the least miles at the end of the month has to buy the "winning" team a round of beers! It seems to be a pretty good motivator - I know I'm skipping my one day of telecommuting to rack up the miles for our team.

In honor of bike to work month - my goal is to ride to work every single day in May. Considering that the most I've ridden since moving here is 4 times in one week (I usually average 3), this is a big step for me. 4 of 21 commutes so far. (I have 21 work days in May)

Anyone who doesn't normally ride every day want to do this with me?

I figure that I might as well do this now, come June, we could be living much, much further from work.
