2 Jan rides

[Thistle]

Rode to work. Hard riding after having been on the bike only once in the last month . Only 12kms but it took me 41 minutes . Amazing how much fitness you can lose in 1 month! But, my saddlebag did weigh a ton.... bringing in stuff for work. But I made it, and this time last year I was buying a parking permit...... wont be getting one this year, I'm a biking chick now .

Completely off topic, Theav, but you have the CUTEST dog. What breed is he/she?

aw shucks.. i love it when people love my dog

Holly is a red heeler x husky. Red heelers are cattle dogs here, made to run around in 40 degree heat for hours and nip at the heels of cattle to move them along. So she's a real mix, but she's got the sweetest nature and i've had here since she was 6 weeks old. She LOVES water... any water.... LOVES people... LOVES food.... and would like to LOVE our cats, but they are very wary

She is completely mad, just like her owners , and incredibly loyal. This photo was taken on the RSPCA million paws walk... she had an absolute ball

he he. theav, I've got a blue heeler/kelpie. I LOVE heeler crosses


Anyhue. I Took a detour on my way home and went over the newly opened "GREEN BRIDGE" linking where I work to the University I'm emplyed by (across the river)

It's GREAT!

I can get up to 33kph COASTING down the hill then that vears onto the bridge where there's no speed limit for BIKES cause we have our own segregated path.

The pedestrian path is seperated from the bike path by the busway! It's FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!

Beautiful weather, but no riding today....gotta take my bike in for repairs to replace the spoke I broke on my last ride....

Rode in and posted that right away on bikejournal where it only gets me to 700 something ... heavens, what a drop in rank from my peak of 137. Of course, if I go out at lunch and ride four miles to eat my rank will jump up a hundred or so... and there's tomorrow...

I've been away fora few days that felt like more. Rode in easy-like, and noticed the psychological transition from east coast elevator-like "I'm in my car going where I'm going and not lookin' at anything or anbody" mindset to "if you smile, people will notice and say good morning!" (and then... "Nice bike!!" - and I don't even have the Christmas tree on it now!)
