Life is better on a bike!

Since today is the national Ride of Silence, a day set aside each year to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured, as well as to raise awareness that the roads belong to all of us - cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike.

Surprisingly there was only one Ride of Silence event in Oklahoma (Stillwater) so we decided to do our bike ride in silence to honor the event and our fellow cyclists who have been killed or injured.

National Bike Challenge

I created a team for All for the Love of Bikes to participate in the National Bike Challenge. The National Bike Challenge is a free program with the goal of uniting 50,000 people to bike 10 million miles. It runs from May 1 – August 31st – so if you haven’t signed up yet, you should now! Just follow the link above to participate and sign up to ride for All for the Love of Bikes!

Bike to School Day

The three high schools in Edmond participated in the national bike to school day today.  They had a good turnout, seems like more than last year too, so maybe biking to school like biking in general is picking up.

No school for me, but I biked to my volunteer “job” and got to park her inside.

Day 130

Sunday Ride

Yesterday, we mixed things up a bit. Translation: we tend to ride the same routes, the same way and didn’t. Do you usually ride the same routes?

We noticed a freshly paved, HILLY road while riding to Jones a week or so ago and yesterday we decided to give it a ride. It was like one long, curly ribbon of a road. It was hard, but fun.

I need to take a photo of it, want to for my Project 365 anyway. When I do I’ll post it here so you can see how cool it looks.

I’ve had requests to post my Garmin info so here it is for this ride:  http://bit.ly/KfkbSH
