For those of you who hate reading people's responses to previous posts, you might want to skip my next few posts after this one. I was busy most of last week and couldn't respond till now

Anyway...for the 2nd year in a row I was only able to ride 2 of the 5 days of BtWW. This kills me, as I'm a 5-day-a-week commuter (yeah, I know BtWW is just another week on the calendar, same as any other, but...).

Friday there was a BtWW breakfast an extra 1.5 miles past my building. My neighbor's son wants to get more CV exercise so he joined me for the ride (in the rain...he picked a great day to start out!) and we stopped, hung out, got some free stuff.

Saturday my company had their annual summer celebration on the lawn in front of my building. Fearing parking nightmares (and because I like being different) I rode to the event and took my 15-month-old daughter in the bike trailer. OK, it's a MUCH different commute when hauling the trailer (25, 30 pounds?) and the kid (25 pounds?) on the mountain bike (30 pounds?). I only weigh 140 pounds so for me that's a lot of weight! I was pretty tired when I got home (carrying the kid around much of the afternoon didn't help).

Today's ride was uneventful.
