I managed to do my bike commute this morning, only the second time I've done it since I started my new job. I've started getting a lift into The Boy's work with him, throwing my bike in the bed of his truck. It makes the commute a much more manageable 8 miles, instead of 18. Plus on the way home from work I can hit the rock gym and meet my friends there, so it just makes sense. It felt wonderful to ride this morning, the temp was warm enough to make me sweaty, but it was so nice to be by myself on the road and trail for once, since lately I've been doing a lot of larger group rides.

Once in awhile I just need some me-time, and it felt lovely to have it this morning.!
