Summer Bike-to-Work Challenge (Page 5)

you also wrote early on: 

So, what are you counting as a commute?  How do you get 68 commutes from 18-20 days of riding?  I've been counting them as round-trips.  I mean, what's the point of commuting by bike to work if you're going to either A. stay there all night or B. hitch a ride home. 

Anyway, that counting difference could explain some of our goal (and progress) differences.   

Oh, I get it now.  Sorry but I hadn't counted in all of your 50.5 rides since May 1st.  Now I see that we're counting in the same way.  1=round-trip and 0.5=one way.  Cool, cool.

Thanks for clarifying, and again, great job on logging all those commute miles!!

Cheers, -Sunny

But when that 5 days is done, it's time to play, right?  Maybe you can fit in a commute-like ride for your training or life-after-the-working-world errands, that or just a trip to the office to taunt your co-workers during lunch in that last week before "Labor Day". 

Nice rides, everyone.

I had motivational issues (read: couldn't get my butt out of bed in time) and only got 1 commute this week.

I've gotten ride 43 of 45 done today.  Just two more days of work this month, and two more days on the challenge...here's hoping for no (significant) rain!

Cheers, -Sunny

 Go Sunny!  Here's hoping for -um- sunny weather!

jpcan - 2006-08-24 5:08 PM I got a commute to the pool in on tuesday. That brings my total to 50, with 5 days of work left for me, I should be able to reach my goal if it doesn't rain. Way to go everyone for getting out on the roads.

 And even if it does rain... you should try to keep riding! 

Today I had no choice (unless I wanted to fail on the challenge I'd set out for myself), so I went for it.  Ride 45 of 45 planned is done (well, almost, as I will be biking home later).  Vacation starts tomorrow and I'll be back to work on Labor Day, so keep up the good riding till then, everyone.  Especially you, JP!  Here's hoping for no (more) rain.

Cheers, -Sunny

Way to go, Sunny! Good rides everyone.  One more week, let's keep it rolling!

Getting in late on this, but my total May 1 - Sept 1 will be 70.

On Oct 1, I will mark two years of full-time bicycle commuting (~6 miles RT).
