I did it!!!!!

[Kitsune06]

I did it too! Woohoo! It was a learning experience.
Lessons learned:
1. I didn't need half the insulation I had and was *dying*. I warm up much more than I think, even given the balmy 44* weather.
2. A good quip is as good as a bad excuse. I half-hit a curb trying to bike around a speed hump, and a guy waiting for the bus saw and smirked. I informed him that it was "Too early for this sh*t!" He burst into laughter. His whole morning was probably better for it.
3. hills that aren't so bad in your car are still murder. I *walked* a hill this morning. I still feel the tingle of shame in my calves and quads. Is that shame? hm.
4. I need more fooooood!

All in all, though, I had a great time, and "wanna do it again!" so I think it was worth it.

Hey Kitsune!!!

Awesome!!! It was great right? How far is your commute?

I liked my ride so much this morning, I may take the "long" way tomorrow!

Congratulations rocknrollgirl and kitsune! It's a great way to start and end the day.

mine was 10 mi and kicked my butt so thoroughly that I'm not quite sure what muscles will be happy and what ones will be all knotted up in protest tomorrow. Stupid hills. I don't think I have an entire half mile stretch without at least one 10-20' rise. It's insane. GRR.

Well, 10 miles is a bit more serious of a commute. Fantastic!!!!

I am riding in again today.....
