    Good for you! All the best. I think the main link for the project is here - http://www.30daysofbiking.com/ - I am planning on doing the September one. It's a great idea doing shorter errands by bike rather than car, as those journeys are the most inefficient and uneconomic ones to do in a motor vehicle.

    Slightly o/t - as I couldn't do the 30 days of riding challenge this month I'm instead logging and blogging all my journeys for 30 days - where, how, how much, how efficient, how happy they made me and so on. I'm barely a week in and it's already interesting.

    I just got back from a ride with my dog. It was cold and windy! Due to work and heavy rain, I have not been able to ride every day. I have ridden every day that I could! My dog's route is just 3 miles. It was cold and windy enough that by the time I got back, I felt winded and slightly light headed. Weird. Tomorrow I am either riding with my sister or going to the local bike trail for a nice 20 miler (assuming the weather holds).
    DH still rolls his eyes every time I want to ride by bike for an errand. Eh, what can I say. You can't save everyone! LMAO

    Mine gets his feelings hurt when I go for a run. He feels judged & criticized that he isn't fit and working out. Poor guy. He's awfully sensitive. And I'm awfully inconsiderate. I try! (So does he!)

    I really like your blog - I think that as I get into commuting that I will resurrect my old blog, we will see. I might just start a new one since I've not even looked at my old one for close to 2 years.

    I did take the challenge for April and failed miserably...but next month is a new month. Part of my problem is that there ARE no short trips for me, so it is either heading out to the country for a long ride or commute to work (~31 miles round trip depending on route). I admire you for sticking to it and finding ways to do it - even if your DH does roll his eyes

    No ride today. I had a hellacious work week and today it was fairly cold and threatening rain. I wimped out. I did go to REI to check out the Novara Safari. They are back ordered on the size I need, but everything else screams buy me, buy me! Now if I can only find a Surly LHT to get my hands on, I will know for sure which one I want!
