today was my first commute in to work this year. i've been working on a knee problem for some time now, so i waited an extra month. this is ride your bike week here in the Northampton/Amherst area of Western Massamachoosits, so i could wait no longer! besides, the free breakfast is hard to pass up, and the chance to get a gander at alot of other cool bikes.
Fruit and veggie sausages, boiled eggs and crappy coffee, fruit juice and surveys. a lovely cool misty morning clearing to a quite warm sunny one. moderate traffic, sandy shoulders. hills that hurt now but will hopefully get easier. i'd have to say it was great! as they say in Ireland-- "Bíonn gach tosach lag"--"every beginning is weak".
