...and i biked to and from work. this isn’t very impressive as it wasn’t snowing or under 10 degrees F. instead, it was a balmy 50 or so. i’ve never biked so long against the wind though—16 mph of wind is a force to be reckoned with, but the way home was so much better.
I did the math, and from the point I made this goal, I said, bike to work 1 day per week, weather permitting. I really only averaged .85 days per week during the peak season, but I think if I factor in rainy days and vacations and whatnot, I met this goal.
The work along treks this year came out to about 310 miles of bicycling or about 15 gallons of gasoline I didn’t use this year. Hurray!
december biking?
