Biked home from work today! 26 Miles! |
|
Felt really good, strong - until the about 2/3 the way up each of the hills that is! LOL! Took just under two hours, and suprisingly the traffic out of Cville and on Old Lynchburg was not that bad. A couple vehicles passed way close but most were courteous. Was going to slug out of the ride but a co-worker had decided to try HIS first commute this afternoon too - and was hoping to ride with us out of town. As always - once on the bike all was good!
Absolutely GORGEOUS weather today too - always a bonus! I'll take a camera next time HappySlug, and post up some photos!

1. Don't bring up bad memories. |
|
When my bike was stolen, my Camera was in the handlebar bag. It was NOT a SLR, but I liked it and it took good pictures.
Probably by the end of next month when I bring my bills up to date, I get myself a new Camera. My sister has a Canon SLR with a zoom lens, so I get myself a Canon so I can use the same lens if I want to.
Thus I will not be able to post pictures for a few months.

5. You didn't, I just wanted to make fun of the lost. |
|
How else can I handle it, I am NOT going to cry over the lost, thus I have to have fun about it.

Congratulations. Happy happy happy. That's a long commute.
I will refrain from ranting about how much I dislike those who don't give bikers a huge space. Oops, too late. I go completely into the other lane when I'm in a vehicle. I'll bet I know how most of them vote.

4. thanks - the length is why i'm only biking HOME |
|
the trip in is actually a lot easier (downhill more than uphill cuz going from the foothill of the mountains eastward) BUT if I were to do that ride i would be asleep at my desk for most of the day.... LOL!
