30 Days of Biking - anyone?

[colorisnt]

I'm now 10/13 days. But that is going to get worse because it will 10/14 tomorrow since it's just too gross to ride today and will be storming all day (dang you, weather!). Only 1 of those days was out of laziness (I was too tired to ride). The rest were legitimate weather or election complaints. I am going to try to ride regardless of weather this week. I have to remind myself that it doesn't take long to commute, so the weather can't bother me THAT much.

I knew I wouldn't be able to do EVERY day realistically but I want to keep challenging myself to ride daily to make a habit of it.

Thirteen out of fourteen up to yesterday (I snuck out at 5pm when the rain finally stopped). But there's snow and ice on the ground today, so little chance of a ride today. Tomorrow I have to take the bike in to the shop, so I guess that will be my ride.

But I admit if it hadn't been for this "challenge" I probably would not have ridden yesterday, given all the other things I had to do during the day. It was just 11km, but a nice little bonus.

Temperature yesterday was almost 20C. Today it's down below freezing.

I am so done with winter.

Me, too. We had snow here yesterday - plenty of it, too. It didn't stick but it went on FOREVER. Now it's going to be back up to 60 tomorrow and it's 50 here today. My allergies are unsure of how to act, I think.

Change of plan. I did ride today, all the way to the post office and back. Bitingly cold, but the roads were wet rather than icy, and I'm glad I went.

Again, no way would I have done that without the "challenge."

Am at 14 out of 15, and that (surely) has to be the last snow of the year.

That's how I felt yesterday, Boudicca. I was like, "eff it, let's go!"

I got about 12.5 miles in today. So, yay. I'm at 12/15 now!

half way there...may the second half go even better than the first, especially for those with weather to deal with!!!! I'm to the point where the night before I now just automatically think about where I'm going to ride the next day

Me, too. I literally live to ride right now. It's the new bike partially. I'm like, "What can I throw at her?". I was even thinking of riding way South of here (through some BIG hills) with my commuter gear to see this place we might rent. The BF is not coming because he's working still (regular, adult schedule now) so I was like, why not? Then I remembered that they might show me two units and I'm not sure I will be able to ride between the units. I'd feel bad to bother the agent, so I will grudingly drive. Maybe we will both ride to the other house later when he gets off work? Either way, I commuted today, so that's riding!
