Bike to Work Week 2007

It’s almost time for Bike to Work Week 2007…

Bike to Work Week 2007

Now, for some reason I thought it was this week, so I’m planning to ride to work tomorrow. It’s about 8 miles, which means I should be able to do it under an hour at a comfortable pace. If for some reason something goes wrong (flat tire, get hit by a car, fall in a lake) I’ll be calling one of my co-workers who drove to come pick me up.

I’m all in favor of riding to work (Ernesto the Biker does it!) but it’s just not always practical. I mean, I left work at 2:30 AM the other night, so riding home would not have been too pleasant.

Anyway, if there is a chance you can ride to work next week, do it. You probably need the exercise.

Birthday Bike

I know it’s still a few days until my birthday (June 18th!) but Dana gave me my present already, a Trek 7200!

Trek 7200

My old bike is one I assembled from a dumpster in Madison about 14 years ago, so this is an amazing upgrade. I’ll miss riding “ol’ dumpy…” I mean, no I won’t, this bike is awesome!

We’ve been trying to ride every day or so, and besides needing the exercise, it’s nice to get out and have some fun. Thanks Dana, I love you and the bike.
