Just a quiet morning commute for me. Today will be the last day for having eighties for highs as we have a cold front moving in tomorrow. The temperature for my afternoon commute tomorrow won't be much higher than it is right about now! Predicting highs only in the mid sixties. Woo-hoo!

A quiet commute here, too - in the 50's and trying to drizzle, but it's a temperature that induces euphoria in me (or maybe it's the drizzle, I don't know!), even though I wasn't going anything like fast enough for endorphins. Contemplated what to say if our news guy *does* do a story on cycling safety.

The standard morning commute with a different route than last time. Which, for the most part, was a significant improvement.
Nonetheless today it wasn't a motorist but rather another 'cyclist' who proved to be a real prat. Here was the epitomy of git - passing downhill at a stoplight in the bike lane, then weaving in and out of the bike lane, then when I go to pass the guy - well naturally, he's wearing his bloody headphones. A bullhorn would not have made a difference. Oh pet peeves where art thou!!!!
Other than that it was NICE

YEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA I got the Baby back and Holy Smoking Guns is she fast!!!!!!! Screaming downhill to work at 30+ mph wihtout even using all fastest gears!!! I can't Wait to try her out tonight on the ride home since I've gained 2 more climbing gears in addition to the smaller cog and the bigger chainring! She is one fast little bike!!!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Well, my ride in this morning went well enough... I was tired, and allergies seemed to have kicked in, so it wasn't my best ride. But, I was glad I rode.
Now, nine hours later, I'm really wishing I hadn't taken the bike! Allergies? What allergies? I guess I should have figured out that it wasn't allergies - I seem to have caught DH's big bad cold.
I hate to give in
, but I realized that instead of looking forward to my ride home, I am dreading it. I can't picture myself riding the seven miles back to the Park & Ride! So, ugh... I called DH to come pick me up after my last appointment. Good thing he's feeling better - it looks like it's his turn to make the chicken soup!
I hate being sick!
