Quite an impressive two months of bicycle commuting
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ah5uEZzUBf-udEVBOEtPYW9WM2tNVndHRFltMTBucUE&output=html">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ah5uEZzUBf-udEVBOEtPYW9WM2tNVndHRFltMTBucUE&output=html</a>).
<br>
<ul>
<li>3311 total miles commuted, enough to ride from yorktown to
Seattle WA. (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://goo.gl/maps/QUglQ">http://goo.gl/maps/QUglQ</a>)</li>
<li>Equivalent to 132 gallons of gas (over $400)</li>
<li>1.2MT of CO2 (about one months worth of CO2 for typically
family of four)</li>
<li>One week of solid incessant rain to test us. <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The mileage winner for this portion is Dave Douglas with over
1000miles in the past two months. Consistency part of the
challenge was neck to neck between Mat Wright and myself until
Mat ran into a bit of bad luck.<br>
</p>
<p>I notice a few commuters have flat lined. Probably due to the
construction on RT 17. That is unfortunate. <br>
</p>
<p>As we go into the Vampire portion of the challenge, please pay
attention to safety. My morning ride has been in the dark all
October, including a few late rides home in the dark as well.
Riding in the dark can be done safely, but it takes effort.
Please only commute in the dark if you have the appropriate
lights and are comfortable/confident in your lighting system/bike
route. Personally, my rides will be a bit more illuminated now
with day light savings time. <br>
</p>
<p>Awards for the Sun Worshiper portion will be handed out at the
end of the FCCC challenge in Dec.<br>
</p>
<p>Keep the wheels down!!!<br>
