Drum roll please…here’s the winning essay from Clara S., who works at Zingerman’s Deli! Congrats, Clara, and enjoy your shopping spree at Moosejaw. Happy Commuting, everyone!

*****************************************************************************************************

I was just hired by Zingerman’s Deli a month ago, so I’m in the midst of figuring out my new commute.  With my go!PASS in hand, I can bus easily to and from work, but the buses don’t run early enough when I open.  I’ve been driving at 6am to work, but I’d like to winterize my bike and begin bike commuting, though it’s going to take some mind over matter to accomplish this in the thick of winter.  I’ll need a good bike helmet, commuter clothing, and some new tires and then I should be good to go.  I’m also going to start up yoga again to get myself in better shape.  My bike endurance isn’t that great yet, so this will definitely help.
