Had a good ride in this morning. The sun was out for the first time in a few days, so that helped a bit. I was up early and at work earlier than ever today. My legs are feeling the 6 straight days of riding, so I'm ready for a weekend off - I just have to get home tonite and then I'll be off the bike till monday morning (upon reading that over, it almost sounds as if I'm not enjoying commuting...which is not the case, but I do need a couple days off ).

This week was the "Commuter Challenge" (http://commuterchallenge.ca/) at work. I've logged 100km this week for my workplace. For some reason the challenge considers car pooling equal to cycling, so some people have 100's of km of driving, which annoys me a bit. However, I'm certainly not against car pooling, as it's better than each person driving individually. I just wish that they gave more weight to walking/cycling/etc. as opposed to driving. What do you all think?

I've also started to post a log of my cycling on my webpage. You can take a look at it if you want, at http://www.oxford.net/~davecope/outdoors/bikelog.htm As it says on the page, I mainly posted it for motivation, so I don't expect you all to rush over and take a look - it's not really that exciting!

Anyway, that's enough for today.
