A new week

Last week I was able to commute only 2 days last week. Mother Nature decided she wanted to have rain, so needless to say my commuting suffered. This week has gotten off to a good start. I've been able to commute to work yesterday & today. The weather has been great, yesterday morning it was over 60 degrees & the trip home yesterday was lots of fun. I had a tailwind the entire ride home. I actually did my road bike scheduled workout on the way home on this bike. It was a hard workout, but it was fun doing something different for a change. On the way home, some smart aleck kid decided he was going to be funny by yelling at me as he passed me. I was lucky I didn't lose control of the bike & either turn in front of his car or wipe out. I saw where he turned & was tempted to chat with him about why he shouldn't do things like that, but I was still a bit upset about it & decided that he probably wouldn't listen to what I had to say anyway. Maybe next time it happens & I can follow the vehicle, I might have a change of mind & have a chat with them. This morning the weather was great, just a bit under 60 degrees & not much of a wind. I just took it easy & cruised into work this morning. I'm looking forward to the ride home, forecast says it should be nice. The rest of the week looks good for commuting & if it holds out I certainly will be doing it.

One last blast of winter

Last week Mother Nature decided it was time for one last blast of cold weather. All week long it was about freezing or just above it. I really don't care to ride in weather like that, then have to work all day long, needless to say I didn't even commute one day last week. The weather has been better this week so far & I was able to commute yesterday, even though it was drizzling, I did get to work. I started out & then had to return to the house to get the waterbottle I forgot. I then decided to try a different route to work. The route I used was a bit hillier than my usual route, but I did get a good workout. The ride home was uneventful, just kept a nice pace & had a good ride home. I then had to run some errands nearby, so I did those on the bike also. All in all it was a nice peaceful day to be on the bike.
