Back on the road

Well I was happy to be back on the bike again. Looking forward to spring and summer when the concern is running out of water rather than whether or not the water bottle will freeze.

This will be the only day I ride this week. Ride Monday, snow Tuesday, snow Wednesday, off Thursday, snow Friday.

Good grief will I ever be able to ride again

Good grief will the snow ever end. Its been a snowing then single digit temps, then snowing then single digit temps back and for fourth for days. Will it ever be safe to go on two wheels again?!

crashed in the snow

So for the first time in years I dropped the bike. going less then 5mph I let the get caught on a trolley track. Cold and windy today. I got wet on the ride in and didn't think to bring extra socks so I stopped @ rei for dry ones on the way home. While I was there I found a new bike light can't wait to set it up. A winding led cable to illuminate the frame

On a brighter note they shoveled out the bike rack @ work today!

of course after two days of riding in the snow my bike needs a good cleaning ... but how do you wash a bike when it degrees?

Back from vacation

Back from vacation and today was my first bike commute. I actually got back to work Monday but I had a really long list of bad excuses for why I didn't ride in.

1) slept to late on Monday
2) too much snow, sleet, rain on Tuesday
3) overslept again on Wednesday

But today I made it, had to force myself kept hitting snooze and by the time I got out of the house I and to work I didn't have time to workout.

Snow is expected again tomorrow... as of now I plan to ride *checks weather*
They're calling for extreme weather snow just in time for morning commute but its only snow unlike Tuesday when it was snow,rain,sleet jumped to 40degrees then back to 20 perfect recipe for large amounts of ice. So I feel less bad about Tuesday and better about tomorrow. The ride home tomorrow should be great no snow no wind and 16 degrees

vacation

So in LA for the week no bike commuting this week. I looked into bicycle rentals but doesn't seem to feasible for this trip.

It was nice to see bicycle safety signs though. Could really use these along rt 10

whose that girl

skipped the bike commute today, and looking forward to tomorrow! Saw a cute fellow bike commuter at the most improbable hour of 9pm.... who was that girl

got the new base layer

Got the new base layer in today. cant wait to try them out. They seem like they'll be cooler than what I'm using now. Guess we'll find out.

First Comute of the year

first commute of the year today, and included an errand. Earlier shift at work today, surprising how much energy I have 2 hours earlier in the evening, the ride seemed to go much faster.
