Closing in on the end of 2009, I’m rather pleased with my biking journal. I was able to get in over 50 days on the mountain bike (a little less than I wanted but still good) and over 200 total days with my bike commutes and road rides. I lost a little bit of ride time from our abnormally wet summer and Talus’ sickness in the spring, but overall I got in a good deal of two wheel time — and there’s still a month left for rides out west!<\/p>\n

\"Pups

Pups on the go! <\/p><\/div>\n

The next big plan is to get a dog trailer for my commuter bike so I can bring Fremont to work with me! I’ll be moving in two weeks to a new townhouse in west Boulder (yay!) and will have a fairly sturdy commute to work– probably about 10 miles each way, roughly 45 minutes of biking. I figure I can make Fremont comfortable now on the nice days and come spring, it’ll be the normal way to get to work! It’s a win-win situation — more exercise for me and more interesting for him. Now, to find the best route to the office…<\/p>\n

I think this is going to be the busiest holiday season I’ve had yet. For those who don’t know already, I will be driving back east this year so if you’re in the CT\/east coast crew, drop me a line. Fremont will be with me! I don’t have the details 100% ironed out, but I’ll be doing my best to see everyone before I head back to Colorado on the 30th or 31st.<\/p>\n

Also one last bike note: if anyone is up for a Fruita\/Grand Junction\/Moab trip over the weekend of December 11-13th, let me know! I’d like to get out there for a few more days of riding if the weather is good. I’d love to ride “The Ribbon” again or just play at the Book Cliffs side of Fruita.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
