Fall and Winter Commuter Challenge!

I did 3/5 days.

Last night I bought a handlebar basket. It's detachable. It will make it easier to buy milk by the gallon!

It's been gorgeous weather for the most part, and I've been enjoying using all my bright lights in the dark. As I expected, I did 9/10 commutes to work:

Mon - 2
Tues - 2
Weds - 2
Thurs - 1
Fri - 2 (the way home was on the new bike!)

Then on Saturday the new bike and I did a couple quasi-commuting trips together that I don't know if they count or not:

- 13 miles round trip to the grocery store for croissants (mmmmm)
- 12 miles round trip to the ice cream place for root beer floats (mmmmmmmmm)

So I either did 9 or 11 commutes this week, depending on how you count.

Total miles: 155

Where are all our challenge commuters?

Riding in this morning, I had some brake pad (center pull) rubbing going on the front wheel. More an irritation than anything else. I stopped to buy some luncheon yogurt and reached down and tried a quick adjustment but that didn't cure it. Blech.

Is it too late for me to join this challenge? I was dithering on the lights issue, but I bit the bullet and got headlights, then installed fenders this weekend so I'm all set to go for year-round cycling. My goal is only one day per week--my husband's work schedule and my after-work schedule is such that doing more days isn't a realistic goal at the moment.

We're easy. It's never too late. I think you can include any utility cycling too!
