Not much to brag about. I went to my daughter's high school and took something she had forgotten. I then went to the grocery store and picked up a few things we needed. I took them home and then went to my LBS to get a couple of items I needed. About 10 miles total.
Nothing too great, but it's a start. I really want to do this.

Edwardsville!? I used to live in O'Fallon! I actually grew up there. Ever been to Woods Bakery? I envy anyone who can go there on a daily basis... mmmMMMmmm sprinkle donuts. Good on you with the commuting! :D It's nice to live so close to your daughter's school, huh? I lived about a mile from OTHS and remember biking to school all the time. Some good schools in that area. Here's to many more bike commutes for you! :beer:

Nice! It's wonderful how simple errands become enjoyable. Life isn't something that happens once the errands and tasks are done...it's the whole process. I wish you all the best!

Sounds like an awesome start to me! The way I look at it is; every mile helps...you and everybody else (whether they know it or not!)
