Not a bad week last week

Last week wasn't a bad week for commuting to & from work. I was able to ride at least 3 days. The only thing bad about riding last week, was that each day I rode, there was a strong headwind on the way home. On Friday, I had the headwind again, but just decided to put it in cruise mode & just enjoy being outside on a nice day. I drove to work today seeing as I'm going on a group ride in McDonough this evening, but brought in my uniforms for the rest of the week. I'll be riding the rest of the week as long as it's not raining. Stay tuned for more adventures......

Two days down this week

I've been able to commute to & from work the past 2 days. The rides to work have been great, cool temps, not much traffic to bother me. Of course I'm riding to work @ 5 in the morning. LOL The rides home have been another story. I've had a 15-20 mph headwind the past 2 days. It's been a hard ride home. The traffic is also getting worse, but not much I can do about that. The bike has been awesome!!!! My thanks go out to Charles @ The Bike Store in Warner Robins, for hooking me up with it. Since that minor problem with the fender, there hasn't been any other problems. I had to drive to work today seeing as it's going to rain later in the day, but I did bring in extra work clothes for the rest of this week. The forecast looks good for riding. Stay tuned for more commuting adventures.....

Not a great week for commuting.

This week hasn't been the greatest for riding to & from work. I've only been able to do it today. The weather & other things in life hasn't made it great for commuting. I'm taking tomorrow off the bike to rest for my races this weekend. I'm hoping the weather is better next week & if so, I'll be commuting to & from work. The bike has been fantastic so far. I had to run to the store for a few things last night & took the bike seeing as it wasn't that far away. I found my lock & took another pair of shoes to change into once arriving at the store. I bought what I needed & then headed back home. This was the other reason I bought this bike, running errands that are close to the house instead of wasting the gas for short trips. Stay tuned to see what happens next......

Good week so far

So far this week has been better than last week to commute to work. I've been able to get to commute for 2 days this week. I'm hoping to ride tomorrow also. The forecast is looking good to ride to & from work. The ride to & from was pretty uneventful today, just the way I like it. I won't be able to ride on Friday due to other commitments after work. I've been enjoying riding to & from work. I feel much more alert when I get to work & it seems to make the day go by faster. I'm also enjoying saving some money by cycling. Gas around here is about $3.15 a gallon. I get bugged sometimes about cycling, but I'm not worried about it with the price of gas being what it is. As long as I can save some money I'm good with the teasing. Stay tuned for more......

Off to a good week (somewhat)

The weather today was great to ride to work this morning. It was about 46 degrees with not much of a wind. The ride into work was pretty uneventful which was great. The ride home was another story. The weatherman said that the wind was going to be between 5-15 mph out of the south. He was just a bit off on his forecast. The wind was blowing out of the south southeast at 19 mph with gusts up to 24 mph. I had a headwind most of the way home & it was brutal. I was lucky if I could hit 17 mph & that was going downhill a bit. I'm hoping that the rest of the week will be better. The forecast calls for rain tomorrow, so I'll be driving. The rest of the week looks good for commuting. I'll keep posting to let everyone know how it goes.
