Bike to Work Week Day 2, 3, & 4.

What a great celebratory week for riding bicycles! I'm pretty pumped about my own personal participation in National Bike Week. So far I've commuted 105 miles, climbed over 4,000 feet of elevation, and have burned about 4,000 calories. Plus, I've got an extra 6 hours of ride time. Oh and the there is at least one Strava PR and a couple of silver medals! I've purposely taken some different routes everyday giving me a nice change of scenery on every ride.

Like this...

Bike to Work Week day two - this beautifully colored field!

...and this, just down river from our office.

Bike to Work Week day three - a bit rainy.
Diablo in low power & Flare flashing as daytime running lights!

When I got home on day three, I ate homemade Mexican food!

Salsa, Chips and Guac! Yummo!

Day Four! Sunshine, Safe Routes and Geared Bikes! My regular road bike is about six pounds lighter than my SS Cross bike, so it was a fast commute today.

 Yay for Bikes!

For the last Bike week ride tomorrow, we'll be doing the Tour de Breakfast. You'll see what I mean in the next blog post, but in the greater surrounding towns there are spots along well traveled bike commutes that have a breakfast for riders, it's the 10th annual rider breakfast. There is a big group that gathers every year and tries to make a stop at as many locations as possible between 7-10 am. It should be a great time!

Thanks for reading,

  1. I love Bike to Work Week. I commute by bike most days anyway, but during BtWW, I got free breakfast 3 days this week! (plus a free t-shirt and a bell)
