bike commute 47

Bike to work day!  Got up early and rode down to Urban Steam for bagels and coffee, then headed up to the as-yet-unopened Good Neighbor for burritos and more coffee.  On the way home I took advantage of some brewery specials at Fieldhouse and Fossil.

Most of the 18 miles on the day were all done on bike paths.  Colorado Springs isn't known as a bike friendly city but if you know where you're going you can really get anywhere on the Westside and downtown without having to deal with too much traffic.  And of course there is no reason you'd want to go east of downtown.

Was looking at the local fox news station for an interview they did with my boss for bike to work day, and found a story on the local infantry dudes going for their EIB.  I got this many, many moons ago at Fort Hood.  Not as cool as the CIB, but it is much harder to get since nowadays it's pretty rare to find an infantry guy who hasn't deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
