Biking to work sounds like a good idea, but what if it really is uphill both ways?

Bike to work day. Uphill both ways. Really.
My expression says it all.

May 20 is National Bike to Work Day. So for the first time ever, I thought I’d give it a shot.

What was I thinking?

Usually, May is not a hot month here in the mountains of western Virginia. But not this year.

Not on Bike to Work Day.

But the planets were otherwise in rare alignment and it seemed like the heat was just an excuse. So I faced it down and set out to be a good bicycling citizen.

I would save gas, fill a backpack with extra clothes and pedal off from the suburbs to the TV station downtown where I anchor the news.

I thought I would do a vlog about the process and give you my thoughts as I went over the locally famous Mill Mountain.

And back.
