....keeping green and staying clean.....

i made my first attempt at biking into work today. i've always talked about doing it, but finally made the effort to do it today. it was pretty successful; not too much traffic to contend with. it was just over 50 minutes to make the 12.5 mile trip. it could be a bit faster if i'm able to catch the lights at some of the bigger intersections. i'm a bit curious to see how the ride home will go, but i don't anticipate it being any worse.

we've started a bike to work challenge at work, which also includes running to work for those who live a little bit closer. points are awarded on the following basis:

biking rt = 1 point
biking rt 2 days in a row = 2 points
biking rt 3 days in a row = 3 points and so on until you get to 5 points (you will continue to get 5 points until you miss a day)

running to work = 5 points
running to home = 5 points
running rt = 10 points

monthly winnerswill be rewarded with some kind of prize. it should be a bit of fun for the office now that summer events are over.
