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.

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!

BIke to Work Week Day One - New Wheels!

Happy Bike to Work Week!

It's going to be a big mileage week this week, thanks to bike to work festivities. Day one had me heading out on the inaugural ride with my new Specialized TriCross single speeder. I had to make a few adjustments, including adding an Exposure Flare and Joystick for today's rainy ride, but it was a great way to start the day. Besides riding to work everyday, we'll be participating in the Tour de Breakfast this coming Friday. The Tour de Breakfast makes a stop at all the various "breakfast" stops being offered for riders commuting to work on that day. There's six or seven stops and we'll probably hit 50 miles or so along the whole route. Arlon Chaffee, the ride's organizer, has coined the phrase "chew and screw". With a tight schedule and many miles to ride between stops, that's exactly what we'll be doing. More photos and fun coming this week, stay tuned!  -Steve
