Day 5

It's been a few days of car free and so far, I've got to say it hasn't been too hard. Maybe a harder challenge for me, at least, would be to be bike only transportation. With 2 classes on Central Campus, I am very tempted to ride the bus over which would fit the car free diet, but would still make me feel guilty for being lazy. This urge to take the bus is even greater when I had to return to Central Campus last night for an evening class. I couldn't find a good working back light.

Day 4
Let's go back in time. KT rode his bike to a job interview yesterday. It probably added a bit of stress since he was running late and didn't want his interview clothes to be sweaty and wrinkled. I think it ended up okay with him putting a rack and panniers on his single bike to hold his interview shirt and shoes.

Day 3
On Tuesday, we went to Kroger to pick up more groceries and the all important toilet paper that we had run out of. We had forgotten to bring our reusable grocery bags so we brought our panniers in and used the self check out machine. The lady staffing the machines OK-ed the scales to let us put the panniers on without the machine prompting us to remove our last item. Unfortunately, in an effort to get home and meet the running group on time, we left our helmets in the shopping cart. This is the first time we've worn helmets for a non-ride ride and we were obviously not used to it. Luckily when we ran past Kroger after I gave up (probably less than 2 miles in) on the too fast paced run with the running group run, the helmets were waiting to be picked up right where we had left them.

Day 2
On Monday, Labor Day, our trunk bag from Craiglist turned out to be the perfect bag for a the part of a meal we were carrying. It fit a potato salad in a Gladware container and a box of Boca burger. We went over to StaceyRob's for Labor Day grilling.

Now time has all been blogged and caught up about.
