Just checking in to let you know I made it to work today in one piece—just in case you were worried. It was probably more than 15 miles, because I chose to avoid traffic over finding the shortest route (and did so very successfully!) It was fun, a bit of an adventure, and my legs feel a little funny now, so I beat on them periodically. I left at 6:40 and got here at 8:20, and I generally average 12 MPH, so I was a bit slow apparently, although I still think all the windy bike trails added to my total mileage. No gym for me today—I got here too late. At 3ish I’ll bike the 5 miles over into downtown and pickup the van to go home to the kids.
I think of it this way—why buy fuel to get myself to work when I have plenty already stored on my body that I can use for free? ;)

Quite an accomplishment!! Glad you made it in one piece...
You're right - I'd rather burn the fuel off my body. And summer is a good time to do it. Not inspired enough to kill chickens yet.
geat to hear you're joining the ranks of (nearly) bicycle commuter! it' a great way to beat stress and (my REAL motivation) eat more chocolate.
Can I get a HELL YEAH! Way to go! I rode to work today too! It's addicting I seem to always have a better day at work when I ride. Burn fat not fossil fuels!
Way to go - and I mean both the biking and the chickens. Hope to see you when we come up next week. We'll be there through the 4th of July. I'll bring a bike :) It will help you feel better about your speed. Hahahah.

What did the chicken say to the farmer?
