Patty Fry combines trips to save driving

The Challenge caused me to think hard about combining trips. This took more planning, even to walk portions of trips that included a car. Despite the high temperatures, I started earlier that week by biking to meetings and adding errands. Also, my trip reports did not demonstrate that in nearly every case I combined “civic” trips, at times by changing their schedules to allow that combining. Obstacles that I ran into included discontinuous bike paths; crossing El Camino & the railroad tracks; getting to certain dressy evening events on time other than by car; and San Jose meetings. I didn’t solve all of these.
