My once a month drive to work for a doctor's visit was today. I seriously do not understand how anyone can commute daily on our interstates here. 30 miles at high speeds with a car length separating vehicles. Did it for 5 years. yuck
Anyhow, I drove through a pile of tumbleweeds and my only thought was that would have been easier to avoid on a bike.
Yesterdays ride home was wonderful. No wind and since it was the last commute of the week I was able to ride as fast as humanly possible. No need to conserve.
