The Ride to Work
It's supposed to be a beautiful week in Denver. This means that it's time to dust off the ol' Sugar Momma (Gary Fisher Sugar 3) and start my annual riding to work phase. I didn't get a chance to do it last year b/c I was working from home, and it was a little tough to motivate myself to ride a loop every morning. This year, I've got quite a challenge ahead of me. It's probably about an hour and a half ride to work, and approximately 20 miles. After a month or longer, I should be able to get that down to about an hour or 1:15.
The first year I did this was 2000 and I rode 55 out of the 60 possible days I could've ridden to work. That year, my ride was about an hour, and I got it down to 35-40 minutes by the end of the summer. Then again, it was only about 10 miles. There's really nothing like it - getting to work after watching the sun rise and working your ass off. I can't friggen wait - come on Spring - I'm ready!!
