Right now, I am in LA, with a teeny window of respite during our 14 hour day at Disneyland. August 8th was probably not the best date for me to commit to another shot at 365 days of biking for me. The following weekend has me in southern California with my exchange student program and limited access to bikes. Luckily, with the motivation and support of fellow riders, I have still been able to keep riding, even on days that seem impossible. I just figured that if I didn't start immediately, I would find a way to keep coming up with excuses. My whole point is to try to show that you can fit biking into any lifestyle and that wouldn't work if I was always too "busy."
My busiest day, the farewell party on Friday, did consist of a 3' ride in my backyard but I was thrilled to have even accomplished that that day.

Today, after 6am room checks to make sure no one had left their room last night, I snuck away to the hotel gym and got 15 minutes in on the stationary bike. Not as fun as goin somewhere with a fresh breeze in your face but I realized that had I not been challenging myself to bike each day, I would never have even tried. I would have been way too "busy." Instead, I hopped in the bike, worked up a nice sweat and felt better about starting my crazy day.
Finally, another exciting experience on the blogging front--we got the opportunity to be interviewed by Simply Bike and was featured on her "biking wih kids" series. Check out her wonderful website!
