I miss my bike :-(

[WindingRoad]

My academic schedule has been beyond awful recently. I haven't been able to ride outdoors at all. I've been working out at my gym but that just doesn't really cut it. Due to my area of study I have had my eyes dilated 3 days this week and other students practicing procedures on them all week long. It is scary to ride a bike at night with your eyes dilated I can't see anything. Not to mention it throws off my equillibrium so I don't feel as stable either. Oh yeah then there is the arsenal of uber expensive equipment I have to haul with me. What is the point of this post? I'm not sure I just know I hate having my eyes poked, prodded and dilated every time I turn around! I want to go for a nice long bike ride soooo bad it's making me insane! Ill be sooooo glad when practicals and finals are over. I'm not getting to go home for thanksgiving due to studying and practicing for my upcoming practicals. I would like to do something fun for the holiday, even if I do it by myself. Suggestions to keep me from going insane perhaps?

That sounds terrible! I HATE having my eyes dilated. Can't stand it. Get pukey-motion sick from it. Hang in there!!!

Yikes!! will your eyes be recovered enough to ride Thanksgiving day? My guests know dinner is planned around my ride! (:

Ugh. Hope you get to enjoy some of this beautiful weather.

This sounds totally frustrating WR, you wouldn't be human if it wasn't getting to you. Hopefully this time will pass quickly! If you can't ride on Thanksgiving, how about going hiking or geocaching? I really hope you can ride though and enjoy this spell of great weather!

My eyes are a bit better today but still really irritated from practicing. I passed another practical today so now I only have one more round to go. I really hope I can get out to ride soon. My energy level from so much stress and late night work has really made it difficult to get any exercise. I started to go do spin tonight but then realized after running a few errands that I was toast. So I went home and studied and then realized I forgot to eat lunch. Yea I used to think how dumb do u have to be to forget to eat! Well I did that and a few other off the wall things today. If I forget where I park one more time I'm going to check myself in!
I am exhausted tonight and I am going to bed very soon. If the weather isn't nasty in the morning I want to ride to my gym and do yoga.

It's amazing what a sunny day bike ride can do for your spirits :-)
