Bike To Work Festivities?

[Eden]

I'll be (wo)manning one of the booths with my teamies - our title sponsor is also bike to work months title sponsor, so we *need* to be there

And no Denver - you keep it we don't want it no no no no no no no its been way to long since we've seen the sun for more than one day in a row and if it starts to rain again I'm going to throw a great big tantrum......

Don't look at the weekend weather forecast.

The other day we had more rainfall than in the entire month's average for May. So I'd say we're long overdue for some nice weather!!

After a bit of very specific googling, I determined that Colorado's bike to work day is June 22 (June is officially bike month in CO? Apparently? News to me!).

And the sun is out right now but I woke up too late based on the weather forecast so I have to drive today anyway.

On the flip side, there's so much snow in the mountains that Aspen is re-opening the slopes for Memorial Day weekend.

This is the first Bike to Work Day that I've missed in several years (well, I'm not missing work--just the biking part). DH took a job with bad hours and a bad commute, so my day now revolves around transporting my son: going in to work late so I can get him on hs bus in the morning, picking him up in the afternoon to get him to his afterschool program, then rushing home to get there before he gets home from that program. So cycling to work is no longer possible. I'm looking forward to the summer when my sister will be our babysitter and I can go back to commuting by bike again, at least once in a while.

I missed the usual festivities at the mall near work today--good food, lots of freebies, and the chance to check out other people's commuter bikes. Sigh. Maybe next year.

We've been getting a lot of rain this week, but this morning would have been good for commuting--overcast and neither hot nor cold, and so far the rain is holding off. Not sure that'll be the case at the end of the day--I've left work every day this week in a heavy downpour.

We did our Bike to Work day in April. I've been encouraging people to bike to work today also! I biked to work today, of course.

I LIKE the nice spring weather, after the frost advisory immediately followed by a heat advisory earlier this month. Yes, it's supposed to rain for the next few days, but it won't be cold. I can handle that!

I biked to work today for the first time. I've biked to my office before, but never on a work day. I met up at a pit stop with 5 other people from my center and we biked to the office together. We got a nice tshirt and water bottle, but more imporantly, I BIKED TO WORK. I'd love to try and do this every Tuesday and Friday. I have to keep thinking how much better shape I will be in if I do that. It was about 12.8 miles today, but that was with the pit stop. Without that, it is about 10+ miles home to work.

My bike is sitting in my office with me and it makes me smile. I'm getting teased for not leaving it on the bike rack outside but I tell people that I would miss it if it was outside.

LA's was yesterday. My office had 7 people ride, which out of 40 or so people, isn't half bad. We had a raffle with a timbuk2 bag filled with goodies like a water bottle, cliff bars and a $25 gift certificate to the LBS. I'm proud to say I organized this.

Editing because...

The ride was great! We had rain and strong winds earlier in the week, but yesterday was beautiful!
