Thanks for letting me know about the meeting; I will stop by on my bike commute to work tomorrow and hopefully have time/get a chance to speak.

Wish I could join you at Kepler’s this evening, but will be hosting some visitors from out-of-town.

I decided to “compensate” by biking down from Palo Alto to Los Altos for a shopping run, and managed to haul back about 5 bags of groceries (including 2 six-packs, a bottle of wine, and a bottle of fine reposado) on the KidzTandem bike!

I got home and while it sure felt strange to not have to log the trip in to the Drive Less Challenger website, it feels good nonetheless!

Thanks for the impetus, and enjoy the festivities this evening!

Answer: For this running of the challenge, it’s too late to add features.

But if you don’t drive, that certainly shows up in the amount of miles you travelled, and if you filled out a your baseline, then you can see the change as improvement compared to your goal.

Avoiding a trip is certainly a great way to reduce carbon emissions – would you like to share a story about how you use telecommuting to avoid driving? You can post on the website at http://drivelesschallenge.com – click Share Your STory.

Question from Heyward Robinson:

A friend at work asked about getting credit for telecommuting (and in general trips not taken). Can we add this category next year?
