My first commute in probably about 2 weeks. I didn't ride in at all last week - The Better Half was out of town at a conference so if I had a ride ending problem, I was pretty well on my own. I could have dealt with that...the bigger issue is one of the roads I use to bypass an unsafe road (4 narrow lanes, broken up by a suicide lane running down the middle and no shoulder) was closed for the week. I was really hoping it was being repaved. No such luck on that front. I did have some plans last week to meet soem friends out, so I drove into the city in the evening and parked in the garage I use for work and brought my singlespeed to get around the city that night.

I was supposed to go for a club ride last night, but I was very tired in the afternoon and by the time I got home I didn't want to do too much of anything. As it happens, we had a severe thunderstorm warning just before I would have had to leave the house anyway. Told myself I would make up for it by getting back in the saddle today. Ended up having a fantastic commute. It's National Bike Month and there are a lot of things happening around town all month long. Tomorrow we have Tour de Taco to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I think it will be a sub 10 mile ride with 3 or 4 stops for tacos and whatnot. I'll most likely commute tomorrow as well so I can get in some real miles in addition to the easy TdT.
