Today is the first day of Bike Month and also the first day of the Great Cycle Challenge and for the second reason, I increased my morning commute so that by the end of June, I will have racked up 1,000 km.

It was a beautiful sunny morning although there was a moderately strong, albeit steady, breeze from the north-east and for probably 16km of the 44km ride, it was into the wind. Nevertheless, it was a great ride and I was only 15 minutes late for work (but my boss showed up about 15 minutes later so all's good, besides, I went in last night from about 11 to 11:30 to pickup paper off the floor from in front of the plotters and load two new rolls of paper onto the plotters so they can continue plotting so it all works out).

Thought I might have been chafing but the soapy shower didn't burn so I think I'm OK. However, I did put some Vitamin E cream on the area that does chafe, I find that really helps.

I'll see how my legs are feeling this afternoon so either I'll do a 9 or 22 km route home.

Have a good day everyone.
