Connectivity: Biking to Work
Thu, 05/17/2012 - 11:20am — shereevI made it in one piece, and I feel accomplished. (physically and psychologically)

I rode my bike to work (roughly 10-12 miles). I think the worst part was trying to pack all my stuff into my backpack that I need for the day. The thing weighed a ton with my laptop, clothes and toiletries, paperwork, and my breakfast and lunch. Lesson one: drive your stuff to the office early in the week, and take all the stuff you need and leave it there instead of trying to pack it all on the day of the ride.
I met one other biker this morning. We played a little "tag" on Sawmill and then Longstreet - but once we got on the greenway, he apologized and left me in a cloud of dust.
Bike to Work Month: The "Dry Run"

I have been in the contemplation stage of change for several years now on this idea of biking to work on a regular basis. I now have a job where I have access to a shower when I arrive at work that is moving me one step closer to being able to make this a reality, at least on days when I don't have meetings all over town that require use of a car. Last Saturday, my husband, Doug, and I completed a "dry run" of the two routes he mapped for us using an online mapping tool that came with his GPS (you can also use MapMyRide.com, though I'm not sure it includes greenway maps).
