I Did It!

I'm impressed. Just do it -- a lot to that "just!" but you made it happen. Sweet!

Good job mtdarby -- i know that feeling of trying to pry yourself out of winter (and unfortunately spring) in Wisconsin and getting into full swing!! Good for you. I am moving back to WI June 1 -- and hoping your story inspires me as well to get moving on goals!!

Always looking for friends to ride with, so PM me if you want to ride (road or MTB, just getting back into MTB so a little "sluggish" at the moment )

Keep it up!!

Thanks ladies!

Venus, where are you moving to? I'm in the middle of the state.

Weather is obviously a big factor in commuting, but the biggest factor for me is guilt. I'm a single mom and I have my 4 yo during the week so that's my time with him. If I commute - even one way, I don't get to spend any time with him and I have to make arrangements for someone to get him from daycare. That means he's with someone other than me for 12 hours a day and I struggle with that. I only get him 4 nights (mon-thur) and friday we're on the road to bring him to his dad's so it's a huge factor for me and I most likely won't commute much. But it was fun to get one under my belt!

Hey Dar, Moving to Milwaukee (south east part of the state) -- forgot, I think you're in Wausau area? Or near there? We've been looking at places to ride at 9 mile and such and go thru that area on our way up to the inlaws near Chequamegon.

We should see if we can do any events and meet up, or some weekend ride...TE girls alive and well in Wisconsin!

Well done Darby - and great to see your goals spelt out here

I have found posting them here at TE quite a motivator...
