After finally getting healthy again and getting some biking in, I ran smack into the face of Christmas break.

Monday 12/19 and Tuesday 12/20 were my daughter’s last two days of school for 2011. These were nice biking days. I dropped her off at school and rode on to work both days.

Since there was no school on Wednesday and Thursday, my daughter was instead registered for camp. Camp is run by my employer, and is very close to my place of work. When I take my daughter to school, she rides on the bike rack and hangs on to the seat post. Its fine for a short distance, but I wouldnt want to try it for a six mile trip with traffic.

One of my goals this year is to resolve the porting the child issue, especially in time for spring break and summer camps. Id hate to be leashed to the car just because I couldnt find a way to transport my child.

But for now, it was driving. Wednesday and Thursday I dropped her off at camp via the car. It was probably a good thing, since it poured rain the whole time, and would have made for miserable riding.

On weekends and days off, though, I’ve managed to bike to the grocery store and bike with my daughter to the playground. I’m taking any excuse I can find to get on the bike, and only climbing into the car when I absolutely must.
