Working from home nooooooooooooo

I am working from home this morning because I am taking this afternoon off for my kids b-day party. Yesterday I didn't ride because it was raining and I had just cleaned my bike and I didn't feel like getting it all wet and dirty. So I haven't ridden since Friday people. I am freaking out here. Two things I need: A foul weather commuter and a ride TODAY. My legs want to spin.

You didn't ride your bike because you didn't want to get it dirty and now you want sympathy? ;-)

I know. I am such a little girl. I should have ridden yesterday when I had the chance. Carpe Diem eh? I am doing the MS ride this weekend though so I got the steed all nice and pretty in preparation. I need another bike.

Working from home as well today. I block out time on my calendar and head out for a fast 1 hr lunch ride for around 20 miles. I love it. Then again it is nice and sunny.

less bike cleaning, more bike riding.

less excuses, more bike riding.

One item of note. A fast ride when it is hot out is tiring.
As I sit here dripping sweat on my laptop.

I didn't ride yesterday, either. So, it's been since Friday. Today, I got to ride a bike I had at my in-laws to a buddy's office, and then home. Feeling good about it.

We're supposed to get some thunderstorms Thursday. I think I'll work on the bikes then.
