We clearly have a critical mass to have a commuter challenge for the northern hemisphere's darker and colder months.

The challenge is on!

New folks are welcome! (So are southern hemisphere folks, if it's helpful.) Our parameters - set yourself a goal, write it down in this thread, and check in with your fellow challengees throughout the time from the September/Fall Equinox to the March/Spring Equinox.

So far we have:
  • me, out_spokin' - commute 75% of my office days, and a new try at more car-free days. I'm gonna start with 30% of my non-office days will be car-free!

  • bikerHen - 5 days/week through the end of 2010, and back at it as soon as possible after January shoulder surgery

  • uk elephant - at least 3 days/week, striving towards 5

  • Biciclista - riding some throughout the winter!

  • Melalvai – is in

  • blackhillsbiker –- shooting for 4 days/week, 5 when possible

  • kiwibug – is in

  • Tri Girl – at least 1 day/week, hopefully at least 2

  • pfunk12 – every day unless snowing or ice on the roads

  • 7rider – no beating herself up when the forecast is wrong and she didn’t ride due to dire predictions of bad weather!

  • kfergos – ride all errands less than 3 miles, and every day to the office if that’s where she ends up working

  • girlsubobscura – going for every day through the winter

  • colorisnt – whenever healthy, not snowy or icy

  • shootingstar – maybe? Depending on location


And we’re off!!! Go US!
