Left work an hour early today. Much more pleasant ride home, as I missed the Friday evening rush hour. It also meant it wasn't dark.

I picked up a 1965 Phillips 3-speed a couple of weeks ago for $40. I've been cleaning it slowly, and riding it around town.

I woke up today, felt lucky, and pedaled it 15 miles to the office. What a classy ride

Hopefully the tires hold air and I can enjoy my ride home tonight

Yesterday, my girlfriend rode her bike to the bus station, bussed and bussed to work. She got out a half hour later than I did, so I waited for her and we commuted home together. It was a nice ride, would have made a larger detour to hit the countryside, but there was a storm incoming and she didn't have bike clothes.

This morning wasn't too bad. Though there was a slight headwind for me on the way to work. Made this more difficult.

My Boss isn't usually here on Fridays. Today he is.

Still no bike. #$%^%.

dead legs this morning, and back was sore from chiro adjustments last night. Still, made it in within a reasonable time, which I guess means that I am getting better at this.

Though, the hills were mocking me this morning.

I've been playing "thunderstorm roulette" all week. We've had afternoon storms in the area 6 out of the last 7 days, and most of them have been very violent with high winds, heavy showers, lots of lightning and sometimes hail. Fortunately I have avoided them so far, making it home before they hit. Today the forecast was calling for the dryest weather we've had all week -- and, of course, I got caught in some light showers riding to work. Funny thing is that I checked the radar when I got up, and there were no showers visible at that time, so they just popped up. Hopefully my ride home will be dryer.

The end of another "all ride week" for me, my 5th in a row. Legs were a little tired this morning but I'm dealing. Otherwise, the weather looks to be improving so the ride home should be decent-next week looks good too.

I followed then passed one of the tourist trollies yesterday, I hit 30 mph in the process, this was right in front of the Jefferson Memorial. I love passing those trollies, I guess it's a little showing off to all the tourists who sit by open windows just a couple of feet away :-) I then noticed my right hamstring tightened up a little, I spun the rest of the way home. Feels better today.

Ran over a crack pipe yesterday morning, slow leak flat from that. That sucked.

I guess I was the first on the MUP today, as I was getting spider-webs in the face pretty consistently most of the way.

I felt like a p*rn star out there this morning. Just one d*ck after another.

Big Ron

Sweaty, but swift ride in. I got sprinkled on a bit too despite the "no rain " forecast

Pretty fair ride today. Nice cool weather, which is why I took my ride before it heats up to three digits here in Pueblo.

Pig_Chaser

Wow, cold this morning. Single digits i think, i rode in with a light sweater and was still cold.

This morning I rode by an enormous heron sitting on a rock in the Lamprey River. It would have made an awesome photograph if I had brought my camera.

Very nice. 60F or so. Comfortable. Need to crank down the limit screw on the front derailleur though. Threw the chain twice. Fortunately it's easy to get back on. Click to center ring, gently turn pedal. Chain hooks right back up.

nice fast warm

Great ride this morning. 67 degrees, dry - later than normal so the sun was up and a clear blue sky.

Would have been a great day to take off.

Pretty nice ride today. Hit mostly green lights and there weren't as many cars parked on the side as usual, so the door zone wasn't as much of a concern.

Saw a dead crow next to the road the size of a small dog.. also saw a dead dog in the middle of the road half wrapped in plastic which makes me wonder if that was purposely done by some dirtbag.

made it home last night and beat my morning time by 15 minutes.. i think i figured out the route, but will continue to try other variations to mix things up a bit.

I had a great ride in this morning with a 10 mph tailwind. There were some new faces on the MUP today so that was nice. Going home is going to be tough - 95 or a bit higher with 60 percent humidity and 25-30 mph head wind. I keep wondering if I should be hoping for a t-storm and then call my daughter to come and pick me up.

5 minutes from work, forgot about a small bridge that's been under construction for the last week. Maybe I can sneak across....no, no more bridge. So I decide to start the 30 minute detour until, 2 minutes in I hear a loud pop and whoosh with a nasty mech/metal sound. I'm thinking something is seriously wrong with my rear wheel. No, just a huge screw in my tire.
I had a ton of work to get done this morning so I had to suck it up and call my boss to swing by and pick me up. Oh well.

I have my bike back. I get to ride home.yiippppee

Had a nice ride in this morning. Cooler weather and less traffic was great. I am taking the long way home, adding about 4 miles to my regular 10 mile trip.

Took my wife's car to the shop to get the A/C checked and recharged. Good lord, I could afford a new set of DA shifters or a decent set of training wheels for what they estimated.

Anyway, one of the car guys noticed my 86 Gazelle and commented that they haven't made any good looking bikes since the 80s. Very nice. Took a longish way back to work. No rush, nice easy spin. If it weren't for the hellish air quality, it would have been perfect.

Had a nice ride home today. Looking forward to getting a rest day in, though-my legs are a bit tired. It was not too hot today, and humidity was bearable. I did, however, resist the urge to veer into the pub for a tasty beverage.
