I did it AGAIN

[trigurl]

I rode to work again today! I am hard core (hehehe) it was raining at home and I thought I would just ride to the parking area and see what the weather was like, of course it wasn't raining at ALL on this side of town WOOHOOOO, I hopped on and took off. I shaved 5 min. off my first ride time too, still not sure how many miles I ride, I have to get my computer fixed or get a new one.

I rode last night, a normal route I ride often, I felt soooo strong, this is the first time I actually felt like I have gotten stronger!

awesome!

Commuting does make you stronger, faster, and increases your endurance. Plus it's plain ole fun

It was fun! it was nice and cool this morning too. I had my backpack on and I put one of those orange traffic type vests on it I also had on my yellow vest, I figure if anyone hit me they had no chance of saying they didn't see me


I may bike by the running shop this evening and buy a blinkie light for my bike, might even consider a headlight too??? it is light when I ride but this morning it was cloudy.

Oh and I was planning on commuting 2 times a week, now I am thinking 3 or 4 depending on the weather. It is getting darker earlier and riding past 8 it is already getting dark, I don't get to start until 6, so after work I can ride an hour or so and have in my miles b/c of the commute

way to go! definitely GO GET THAT TAIL LIGHT! Any added measure of safety is worth it!! I bet the orange vest helps too!

my backpack is red so I just put the vest on it like a person! quite commical actually, but no one could have seen it on me with the pack on.

I'd pick up a headlight too. You may not need it now, but you may before winter's out. Nice idea on the vest. I have one which actually is designed to go over the pack and has a little tail for when I'm leaning over.
