Getting a late start on the bike commuting this year. \u00a0Part of it is because my commute jumped from six to about 20 miles. \u00a0Part of it is because my bike – a 1983 Fuji Monterey that I got in, well, 1983 – is showing its age; it’s a bit of a hangar queen these days. \u00a0Don’t get me wrong; it’s earned it. \u00a0I’ve got more miles on that bike that on some cars I’ve owned.<\/p>\n

So I test drove some other bikes this past week, and have finally taken the plunge on a new ride. \u00a0More details – perhaps in a revived “Hot Gear Friday” – coming soon.<\/p>\n

Next step – find a park-and-ride about 5-6 miles out from the office, drive and park there, and ride the rest of the way in (the office has a shower, thankfully).<\/p>\n

Goal: \u00a0by the end of summer, be doing the whole 16 mile haul (it’s shorter via bike trails and lanes) at least once a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
