First commute also

Today was my first commute to work also. The car had to go to the dealership for some warranty work, so this was the perfect reason to bike into work. It's only 5 miles so it doesn't take long. The main reason I don't bike more often is because I usually go home for lunch to let the dogs out. It was a beautiful morning, about 70 degrees and no wind. Going home will be warmer, it's supposed to get up in the 90's. A great way to start the day!!

Try and keep it up, even if it's not everyday.

Congratulations!

Even once in a while is good (at least it works for me).

Congratulations.
Maybe you should take the car to the dealership more often.

5 miles is perfect !!! It's a good distance to start with. Good luck and keep at it. You'll appreciate the results.

[So..... what kind of gun, gun-n-gal?]

Actually I have quite a few. Mostly handguns, a rifle, and a couple shotguns. I used to shoot competition handgun, then I got old and the eyes just don't work as well as they used to. So now I'm into geocaching (with a GPS) and riding my bike for exerise, and of course hunting when in season!!
