Week One: A Favorite Place

Coming up with an exact favorite place is proving to be a difficult task for me. There is beauty all around me, everywhere I look, and so I have come to the conclusion that for me, my favorite place is on my bike. I am an avid cyclist, spending upwards of 15-20 hours a week on my bike. Commuting is my daily activity to remain sane! This past summer I rode my bike over 2500 miles, including a bike tour from Haines to Skagway, AK. That ride took six days of averaging 62 miles a day. It was a stunning adventure, and reenforced how much I love to ride a bike. Living in Juneau is not very conducive to riding a bike every day, however, by continuing to ride to school, I am saving money on fuel, and burning off excess energy that is pent up throughout the day.
