I'm jealous a bit, living up north I cannot do my 27.4 kms commute when there's too much snow, so I have to take the car 20-25 times a year, I wish I could go 100% bike.

Congratulation!

Congrats! Its time that stops me. I can't bring myself to to going to bed so early. My kids are still up when I would have to go to bed. There are days I have to be at work at 4 am.waking up at 1:30am is not an option.

Congrats! Like some of the others, it's getting easy to keep my groove in the spring/summer/fall, winter can be the hard part.
