Lots of riding this week.

Wednesday: raining in the morning but forecast scattered showers in the afternoon. I hoped for the best and took my e-bike on the back of my car. There was a break in the rain about 4 PM so I made a run for it, and got mostly just sprinkles off and on. But I pushed HARD with a higher PAS level than usual and made the 15 mile commute home in just 48 minutes! About 1/2 mile from home it really started coming down, so it wasn't too bad.

Thursday: rode the e-bike back to work since my car was at the office. Bright sunshine at 6:15 AM, but much cooler at just 50° so I had a long-sleeve t-shirt and high-viz jacket. The weather turned out picture perfect so I decided to leave my car at work again and just ride on back home. I only had my long-sleeve t-shirt so I had to push the sleeves up as it was in the 70's, but it was still pretty comfortable with the breeze. I didn't push as hard this time so it took about 10 minutes longer than the day before. No big deal.

This morning: had to ride back again since car still at work. I contemplated taking the road bike, but we had some decent head winds this morning so I rode the e-bike once again. Sunny, temps in the 60's. Lovely ride.

So today I will drive my car back home with the e-bike on the back, and I will fill up the tank with gas for the first time in a month!
