ride my bike more

I think my first leg was about 3 miles, and the uphill component was a strain. I was pretty weak when I got off the bike to walk the next couple blocks, and became reluctant to go the second leg but since that leg I was with an older friend, we went slow and it was OK. Then after breakfast, leg #3 was fine, despite some low-grade uphill. I’m glad I biked.

Now if I can only make it a habit this month to bike every day…

The sun shined, the wind blew just a little, and I rode my bike downtown for my lunch date. Didn’t bother to pump up the tires since it was downhill. It felt great. My brain thanked me for the gift. I realized today that it is a gift to give myself that kind of exercise. Just a little gift! A smidge.

The first new growth of the season. A bud.

If it would only stop raining or threatening to rain, I’d ride every day. I just can’t right now. I want to, but it’s not happening yet.

Tis the season, when it isn’t raining, to strap on a bag and ride my bike to work! At least thrice a week is my commitment, but I usually get 4 times in.
