Biking
So I went out today for the first real serious bike ride I've been on in about ten years. I've been talking a lot about biking to work, so I tried out the route this morning. I had estimated half an hour to 45 minutes each way, but it turned out to be an hour instead. And uphill both ways as far as I can tell from how I'm feeling at the moment. I'm officially an old codger now. I think I need to shave at least 15 minutes (each way) off the trip before I can consider biking to work. The drive is about 20 minutes, so I just hate to lose that much time from my day. It's a nice route, though, most of the way is bike trail so no traffic to fight with. Although you do have to cross quite a few streets along the way.
And I broke my caffeine fast, because once I got to the office I was so pooped I had to have one of the energy gels that I'd packed along. I could've sworn at least one flavour had no caffeine, but this was not the case. So I had 25mg of caffeine along with my strawberry/banana carbs, and maybe it was a good thing. Got me home, anyway.
