Overcast and wet this morning, but the rain had stopped so I decided to ride in. I'm glad I did because I would have been pissed when not even a single drop of rain fell on my car the whole ride in!

Today marks my 7th commute, and my third week. I'm going to try and commute every day this week. My favorite part has been the continued challenge of "beating myself." This morning, I made the first three miles of my ride in record time. Also, there's a tight 90 degree turn on part of the bike path I take. Today, I took the proper line so as not to have to brake to stay on the narrow trail. A small victory for me. My goal is to pedal through the entire turn. Maybe tomorrow eh?

If I make it to work in record time when driving my car, there's no satisfaction. No satisfaction in making a nice turn. No satisfaction in taking a good line... I love biking to work.

Happy Bike-To-Work Week, everyone!
