joie de vivre 's head hurts

Bicycle 300 miles in October (read all 28 entries…)
125 miles - such a beautiful day! 14 months ago

Rode to my class on Monday, and then into work on Wednesday.

Today, I had a meeting in town, so I did the bike/bus thing to the park-and-ride, and then zipped up to Lower Queen Anne. All that pedaling up to the Plateau has paid off. Even with a full pannier, I made it to the P/R in a sprightly 25 minutes.

After the meeting, I made a couple of stops. First, I dropped off my proxy card with the old personnel dept., who nagged me about not turning it in when I finished up in May. Then I stopped off at the Bicycle Alliance office, to turn in an auction item. Finally, I made a stop at Working Dog Cycles and bought a couple of spare tubes.

After all of that, it was a sparklingly clear and breezy ride home. Really gorgeous cycling weather. And you know? Because I now have a ‘burb to ‘burb commute, I really miss bikie culture. Riding in town just puts me in proximity with other cyclists, other people riding to make deliveries and get places. I do see a few other cyclists on my way to work, but it’s pretty rare. It’s much nicer to be where other people on bikes are.

Enough loafing – time to get some things done around here…!

I know what you mean...

Today was absolutely gorgeous, low 70’s, clear skies and very little wind. I did a 30 mile ride along one of my regular routes out past the reservoir. The leaves are starting to change and in about a week or two should be at their peak. One of the top 10 rides of the year.

mmm, yes indeed – isn’t it a joy to be riding when it’s like that?
