All Set!
Big day today! I registered for the Chilly Hilly, became a Cascade Bicycle Club member and… drumroll… rode my bike to work! I know what you are thinking: “don’t you always ride to work?” Now I normally make an effort to commute by bike, however I am furnished with parking downtown by my employer which is very tempting on chilly mornings. Over the last week I succumbed to the siren song and drove to work for one half-baked reason or another.
The highlight of the day for me is the short-term goal of the Chilly Hilly. While not actually very long at 33 miles it is quite hilly out on the island. For reference the 2600 (and change) feet of climbing is the same as the 2009 70 mile LIVESTRONG Challenge course! Commuting is a good start but I’m going to have to start taking the detour over Queen Anne hill to be ready.
