I have been absent fro my blog for a few months, been busy buying a house and moving, etc.  But I'm ready to chronicle my next biking adventure, Bike Month 2013.  Last year my goal was to bike to Seattle every day.  That lasted until bike day when I got a flat on the way home from work.  A series of flat tire followed as I changed tires and had flat after flat after flat.  I finally took those tires back and switched back to the originals.

This month for the Commute Challenge I wanted to take it up a notch.  I've been trying to get a commuting team started at work and spread the joys of bike commuting.  It hasn't gone as well as hoped but better than last year.  I'll again be the team captain for team WaFed.  My personal commute challenge?

1000 miles


I will attempt to ride my bike 1000 miles during the month of May just commuting to and from work.  It's a 30 mile ride from Auburn to Seattle.  I'll be making the trip at least once a day.  You can follow my progress here.  Check back ever now and then for an update.  Some days I think I'm crazy, other days I think I just enjoy riding my bike.

    I began cycling in Eugene, OR where I got a Master's in Economics.  I now live in Washington with my wife and one and a half kids. My commute, which I split between cycling and train, is about 30 miles one way.
