Bike to Work Week (aka Rainy Hell on Two Wheels)

New week of PE and I had to miss the goals setting class for a meeting...

For me, this week, my goal was to participate in HUB's Bike to Work Week and so despite a crazy hard rain yesterday AM, I rode for one hour, and was drenched before I made it up the street halfway from my home.  Yes I have rain gear, but there is no such thing as a waterproofing your face...

To top it all off, the jacket I wore did not keep the pocket seal and I got my iPhone wet!  That is not a good thing seeing as I use it for work, and play and overall just organizing my life.  I feel like my students I imagine - useless without a phone! Anyway, I am trying the rice trick and hope to have yee ole phone back up and running in a few days, otherwise there will be tears for a week (I jest).

Anyway, three days in and I have done just under 35 kms, burned just under 1000 cals, drank a cup or two of dirty road water and overall feel better than I did if I wasn't riding - despite the heavy horrible rains.

For the Ride to Work Week, they allow people to register online and then they calculate the collective total of carbon emissions that have been saved because people aren't in cars. And when people aren't in cars, they live longer...

Isn't that what its all about?
