I don't ride everyday anyway. Sometimes I have to do stuff at lunch where I just need a car...

It's gotten to the point where I really hate driving in heavy traffic. Plus if I don't ride for two or three days I get cranky and irritable and I have sinus problems. So I guess I have that built in impetus to write as often as possible. There are days where I must drive because I have to be somewhere and don't have enough time or I have errands that would be much too difficult on the bike. Even on days where I wake up a little stiffer and sore than usual ( I am no spring chicken) and I opt out of riding, by the end of the day I often regret not writing because now I have to drive home
