I commuted last year several days each week last summer. Commuted occasionally over the winter but it was very hard at 56 miles round trip. Used BTW month challenge just to see if I could ride regardless of weather or how I felt. So far I have missed only 3 days. Even rode 2 days to an offsite workshop that added over 10 miles each way. It hasn't been easy especially in the rain but it has been good.

Have an outside shot at 500 miles this month, all commute/errand-related. I am a little surprised. Also, filled up the car last night, 1st time since April (made the $4.26/gal go down a little easier). Could have made it through May w/o filling if my shifter cable hadn't broken yesterday. (500 mile possibility only occurred to me last week, and the no-gas May only occurred to me retroactively, so I really wasn't going around planning these things; and we just bought plane tix for vacation for fam of 4 so we are definitely burning fuel at a good annual rate...).

Okay, I'm the first to admit that I have a small "competing" issue, but the bike week's huge influx of dilettantes has got me in permanent overtaking mode. I'm shaving time off my commute, but I'm wasted when I get to work.
And where's the free pancake breakfast? Somebody owes me pancakes.
