I used to bike 13 miles to work in Florida, when I was a younger man, and I’ve been talking about biking to work here in North Carolina since we moved up 5 years ago. All talk, no action, until this past Friday. Our office moved from an impossible 20 miles away to a cakewalk 7 or 8 miles. So Friday and today were successful runs at biking to and from work. Hills are a bear! I’d say the 7 miles are roughly equivalent to the 13 flat Florida miles.
Jim Brown, the guy that keeps the servers humming at work, has been my inspiration – he’s been riding to work for years, he’d have to do my run 3 or 4 times every day to be satisfied. We’ll see if I can give him a run for his money any time soon.
