Ride of the Great Pumpkin
Somehow I thought it would be a good idea to bike commute every work day in October. As a reward for my insanity, I would dress up as a pumpkin for my ride on Halloween.
So this happened:
Which meant that this happened:
The National Bike Challenge thing was kinda fun. I logged 1724 miles during the challenge (May through September), which put me in 10th place on the local leaderboard. Some other interesting stats:
- Atlantic Mine came in second to Copper Harbor (measured in points per capita) on the local leaderboard
- Michigan Tech took the lead for workplaces
- Atlantic Mine was 8th nationally at the end of the challenge (whoa)
- I ended up 394th nationally for October
So how was my most consistent month of bike commuting ever? Not bad. I stopped getting tired near the ends of the weeks. I'm getting pretty good at dressing for the weather without ending up too hot or cold. And I saw some of the most amazing sunrises ever this month.
Maybe I'll take tomorrow off, but then I'll be back at it. Give me a friendly beep if you see me on the road!
