This has often corresponded with STAR, and would have if we had been able to stick to the original date. I'll try to ride to work, weather permitting and the bikes cooperating.

I'll try to ride to work.  Wait... 

I ride to work most every day (spring to fall, er, autumn).  Maybe I can take the long way to work, or the long way home from work. 

Or maybe I can ride from work to lunch and ride back to work.  That sounds like a good plan.

Maybe I could ride the long way to work, take the long way to lunch from work, take the long way back to work, and then take the long way home from work.  Yeah.  That's it.

Hmmm.  Maybe after I get home from work I'll go for a ride, too...

I'm with you Keith...I always try to avoid using that nasty 4 letter word that starts with "f". It's always autumn for me.

No way I'm getting a job just so I can participate in this event!  (I last rode to work a little over ten years ago...)  How about if I ride to an early lunch, after sleeping in?

I think that sounds like a capital idea.
