Bike To Work Day!!!

It's almost here!! This week has been Bike to Work Week...who has been pedaling to work?  And FRIDAY is Bike to Work Day!!  If you haven't already been using this week to plan a route and make sure you are ready for Friday, it's not too late!! Go to http://www.mapmyride.com/ to share your route with others and to see others routes in your area.  You can also go to http://www.maps.google.com/ and choose the bike icon to get bike directions! 
If you aren't so sure about biking to work, you can still try to get your bike rides in and support the efforts of finding alternative modes of transportation that get you physical active!  The whole month of May is  Bike to Work Month so even if you can't pedal yourself to work this week or Friday, you've still got the rest of the month to get started on a great routine of biking!

FINALLY!! We've been waiting for you and you are here warmer temps!  In celebration of this weather work breaks should be taken outside walking!   Share with us what you did today to take advantage of the wonderful weather and get yourself moving!!   And as always...don't forget the sunscreen and playing safe in the sun!
