Back!! from Summer BReak...

Busy summer ; so blogging took the back seat... as the weather was to nice and life was to busy to sit at a computer and blab about worthless nonsense and staying organized, BLAH! it's SUmmer TiMe let's be free from technology!

But back in action with life and the bike!!
Which brings me back into the cycle of things.......note some have inquired about my previous biking to work "test" accomplishment or whatever you want to call it, I DID it! my goal was to ride for 50 days strait>> no stopping or excuse, the final recipe concluded like this:

1 mind of determination
2 legs of pure pumping desire
1/3 of the days in rain, snow, hail, and just pure misery (refer to the first ingredient)
1/2 cup of new discoveries, routes, and fresh air
1 flat tire on day 49
1/2 dozen crazy drivers
2 Suburban vehicles- ladies on cell phones, almost picked me off (sorry ladies, but...)
1 single speed, retro, ghetto Green Machine purchase from a recycled bike shop in Portland,OR

64 days,512miles of pure bliss, YES YOU can ride a bike to work, and an accomplishment I didn't think was possible but am now a believer!

SO now we start again, NEW school yr, NEW reformed Bike, New desire--as human nature would have, always wanting to beat your old score, we will see..........if I can top 64 days, starting at 0, and hope to ride everyday and see how winter treats us in the good ol' Northwest.
Let's get ROLLIN'!!!!!!!!!! (I encourage anyone to give it a try!! or challenge you.........bring it on.)
