edpaffjr.comToday is Denver’s official Bike to Work Day and both Kim and I decided to participate this year. Last night we mapped out a route and amazingly we stuck to it and had zero problems. We left the house around six this morning and anticipated it taking about an hour and a half to get to Kim’s office, a twelve mile ride. Along the route we stopped at a Panera Bread shop, one of the many locations around town that were providing food and drink for participants. Even with the stop for a bagel and coffee we still made it pretty close to our time goal.
Once I successfully accompanied Kim to her office, I decided to keep riding on toward my office. I originally thought about hopping on the light rail near her office, but the great weather and good ride convinced me to keep going. I battled even more hills than we encountered on the earlier section but still managed a pretty good pace all the way to work. In total my ride was about eighteen and a half miles and I walked in the door just shortly before nine.
Here’s my route:
great job! are you taking the light rail home?
Yeah, at least part of the way.
