Bike to Work Week

This week was Bike to Work Week, a national effort to encourage people to bike to work for health and environmental reasons. I didn't bike because I'm always driving Owen around, but Micah decided to bike to work on Tuesday....that's right, Micah biked all the way to his office! If you don't know, we live in Carson City and Micah works in South Lake Tahoe - over the mountain and 30 miles away. Carson City's elevation is 4600 feet and Micah climbed to an elevation of 7300 feet at the top of the mountain! Wow, is he dedicated or what??? His co-workers even had a "finish line" waiting for him at their office (made out of toilet paper). It took him almost 4 hours to get to work that day. I don't think he's going to do this regularly, but he enjoyed the ride once. Here are some pictures of his ride.
