Reducing my carbon footprint...

I rode my bike to work! I've ridden to Brinkley before and thought about how neat it would be to just ride to work. I left the house before 7:00 so I could be there by 8:00. I knew the wind was out of the south and that it would work in my favor. It was so nice to be out that early during that time of the day. I was on the road in time to see the sun rise - what a great feeling!

I had to carry a backpack with a change of clothes since I was going to be working. I think I'll get a bag together with some essentials to leave at work next time and then I'll only have to carry a work outfit.

The trip to work only took an hour and 10 minutes, but the ride home was another story! That wonderful wind that pushed me to work, was really working against me on the ride back! It took me an extra 25 minutes for the return trip!

I enjoyed doing this and will difinitely do it again! Two advantages to this...I reduced my carbon footprint on the earth this day, and I got my workout in before I got home!
