Had a bit different kind of morning today. A couple weeks ago my son earned a position on the high school golf team (as a 7th grader - proud father warning!) On non-tournament days he normally has team practice at 8 AM so my wife takes him to the golf course. This morning though he needed to be at the course by 6:30. My wife is not a morning person and I earned major husband points for offering to take him so she could sleep.

But I didn't want drive to work because I have a consecutive commute streak going of 87 days and counting.

So I got my bike tires pumped up and loaded my pack. Then I drove my son in the car and dropped him and his clubs off at the golf course by 6:30. I returned home, parked the car and grabbed my bike. I wheeled it out of the garage by 6:50 and hit the road. I was making good time, so I took a few non-direct side jaunts just to get a few extra miles because it was a beautiful day, albeit a little chilly (52 degrees.)

When I rolled up to work I had ridden about 11 miles. Went inside and took a shower, and still was at my desk early at 7:50.
