It's amusing to me that one of the few days I HAVEN'T ridden to work is "ride to work" day.  Oh well.  I'll just use the empty MC parking spots tomorrow.

My excuse:
I have to pick up a babysitter on the way home.  I figured the teenager's dad might not let me pick her up with less than four wheels.

Well heck! You can take the LONG way to work then! (say....maybe....through Tulsa?)

Every day that doesn't require transporting multiple people or lots of equipment with me is "Ride to Work Day" as far as I'm concerned!

I'm still drying out from yesterday. I got caught on the way home in that stuff.
I thought I could beat it home, so I only put on the top to my rain suit. Big mistake.
Channel 11 said 60mph winds and I believe them. I was at a stand still on the Bush and thought the wind was going to blow me and the bike over. Not fun

I'm also in the everyday is ride to work day.  And I got soaked the last two days and probably will again tonight.  It's only 7 miles to home, though.

Like most of you, I ride nearly every day, but this gave me a chance to get some of the other riders together for breakfast. Had 16-17 riders from our office for breakfast and then a ride in to the office.  Hey, riding should include eating.
