Bike to work

Took my bike on the 5.5 mile commute today. The ride back is definitely easier than the ride there. It feels really good to do this; it makes me feel powerful and proud of myself and the weather right now is perfect for it. I would like to continue, and I think it will only get easier as time goes on.

I was going to call this entry “dry run” but it started to rain on my way back, so I figured that wasn’t appropriate. :P

I rode my bike to my office today, which is about five miles from my home. The ride there wasn’t too bad, there were a few small hilly parts that wore me out, and I’m not looking forward to crossing over the freeway overpass during rush hour. It took about 35 minutes.

I took a different route on the way back, and accidentally went down a road with lots of construction which wasn’t fun. I also got rained on, but it wasn’t terrible. So, weather permitting, I think I should ride to work at some point next week.
