Monday's commutes

[melaniesuzanne]

Yesterday's weather was absolutely glorious. It was very nearly the most perfect day for commuting via bike, at least in the afternoon. The morning was quite chilly and I was downright cold until I rode into the full sunshine on the trail. My fully-loaded trunk bag and lunch bag made the bike heavier than the backpack-and-lunch-bag-in-basket combo

Go you for saddling back up after your accident. Is there a google map of your commute?

[melaniesuzanne]

This map is mostly correct except that I ride through my neighborhood and jump a green space to get onto the W&OD instead of riding down to Sterling Blvd.

Pacific Blvd and W&OD was the scene of the accident. Thankfully, the trail is under the street at that point so we weren't blocking an overpass.

That is really awesome. You can see your gains and feel them. Hey, you will have legs and butt of steel lady! And you have no idea about the crazy calorie burning that biking (especially when you have to go through hills and up and down) generates.

Keep it up!

Well, I'm not really feeling them yet, but I keep telling myself that those gains are coming. :)

Oh, trust me. They will come :-)
