Amateur Bike Hour

Well, I survived the 10 mile bike ride to and from work in support of bike to work day. There were 3 of us and my co-worker Jeremy was a great and patient guide. He took us on the route I had no idea existed - through farmland and open space. It was beautiful, exhausting, and hot. On the way home, I'm sure the cars passing me thought I might fall over I was going so slowly. And the people on their road bikes were probably wondering what I was doing.   

But I made it. I probably won't be biking to work anytime soon, but I hope it inspires me to bike more. (And I have a lot more respect for the Tour de France participants.)
