Bent: Yeah, Spokelooneh, I work in downtown spokane. This morning I carpooled into Sullivan with my wife and rode to a meeting at Centerplace in valley. When I got out, it was raining pretty hard, so I rode to the Mirabeau Park n Ride and took the bus to downtown. Then I rode to work from the plaza. Still got five miles or so — despite the weather. Then it cleared up so I rode a six mile loop at lunch and then to meeting on foothills, and then took the bus to liberty lake after work and rode home to Post Falls. Then I had to walk to the dogs…I’m going to be sore tomorrow.

Question. If the weather clears, are you going to ride your bike to work this week, which is Ride To Work Week?

I knew someone would catch that, Mama ;-)

I walk to and from work every day.

I’ll be riding because Bent is cracking the whip on me (and everyone else in the office).

Since I work at home, I’m willing to give riding my bike to work a try. Never mind, I just remembered that I don’t have a bike.

I rode my bike to work this morning. Brrr, and windy. And now it is hailing, and I’m wondering how unpleasant my return trip might be…

I used to ride to work once in awhile, and I worked in the valley. From Coeur d’ Alene, that was about two hours each way. I don’t do it anymore, but I did love the ride on most days. When it rained or was windy, I didn’t care for it much, must be why I stopped, or my advancing age. I still ride my bike, but on selected days of course.
