For those of you who know me well you know that I am not necessarily a fitness fanatic. My wife is definitely an avid fitness proponent and evangelist, but I am more the type of person that does things only when necessary and only if it serves some kind of purpose other than just “buffing my bod”!

That’s why I like bicycling so much. It’s definitely a great way to exercise and get’s you from point A to point B in a rather timely fashion, while giving your body the healthy activity it needs. Of course when I do things I like to fully engage! So I’ve started riding my bike again to and from work. As long as rain isn’t expected for the day I’ll be riding to and from work every day, which is great because it’s just close enough to make the trip in about an hour and far enough away to get a really good workout. 12.5 miles each way, currently I am riding at one hour exactly. First day took me about an hour and twenty minutes of course. But as I ride my body remembers how to ride. So in the past three days I will have gone 62.5 miles at an average of about 12 mph!

This is approximately my path to and from – I’ll be posting some of my results as I capture them.

This was last summer – but my office is not far from the end of the path.
