30 Days Of Biking

4/3/2015

4 Comments

 

April 1st marked our 3rd year of participating in #30daysofbiking. I pledged to ride every day this month. The first year was difficult but as we've engrained biking into our everyday lives, it's become pretty natural. I had forgotten about my pledge until I started reading about others' rides that day. Luckily, I had already been out and about on my bike, racking up 2.5 hours worth of riding mostly for transportation and work.

Yesterday was a bit harder as I found myself carpooling to a meeting, taking light rail, and walking. The boys and I actually had to take a spin around the neighborhood to make sure we got a ride in.

It was a beautiful but windy evening. Spring is difficult in Sacramento and they say that if you don't have allergies when you move here, you'll get them soon. The boys and I were choking after our short ride. It was still a wonderful way to end our day but I'm hoping to fond a good solution to the drippy-nose season.

Today's another easy day and we've already ridden the HaD to drop off a kiddo, to a meeting, dropping off the next kiddo, then for work.

If you haven't signed up for 30 Days, you should! It's a great way to get into the habit of riding and they donate a bike to a child in need for every 30 pledges!

Just found you through May is Bike Month! You mention people saying you develop alergies when you move here. I grew up in Sacramento and remember no alergy problems before the second year I was in Northern Virginia. The people there said basically the same thing. Those windy days at the beginning of the month were not the most fun days to ride.

Ha! I guess it's just what happens no matter where you go :) These windy days are difficult. Sometimes I wish I had goggles. I see people wearing face masks to cover their nose and mouth but I think that would be uncomfortable to ride with (although, if not breathing is the alternative I'd make due).

Happy riding!
