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!"

You da (wo)man, AG!!! My commuting hero!! I didn't ride today because of rain but I'll take your inspiration with me when our bike-to-work week starts in June! Neither rain, nor snow, nor dark of night....hmm, sure hope it doesn't snow in June....

Irony
You know. It's ironic. I normally bike to work, every day. Very rarely do I have the car. But hubby has his new (used) 240SX and we both couldn't sleep well last night, so I was exhausted this morning. I just didn't want to deal with the traffic and rain, or with California drivers + rain.
So... on Bike to Work Day... in Bike to Work Week...
I drove a car

Yep, it was pouring when I went to work this morning. I rode anyway, as usual. But i didn't get any schwag.
I did wear my Top Hat t - shirt today though.

Instead of riding to work, I will be riding with a colleague from work, at 5 AM. I will drive to her house and we will ride for about 15-20 miles. Since she lives about a mile from our school, i will shower and at her house and go to work from there... she's a runner who cycles once or twice a week at this time of year. Right now she's got a sprained ankle, so she's riding. Since she's about 15 years younger than me and a marathoner, I hope I can stay in the lead!
Gotta go to bed... I have to wake up at 4:15 to get ready and get to her house by 5 AM.
