Despite beautiful weather, I didn't get my longed-for long ride in. But I did get some riding done. I helped a friend move out of her apartment. I borrowed a Bikes-At-Work trailer from another friend, and made three trips--by bike!--with her stuff. Her other friend showed up at that point with his pickup, and loaded the heaviest stuff in it, and I made one more trip with the long shelves that wouldn't fit in his truck.
I could have hauled the heavy furniture too. Although it would have taken another three trips at least.
Obviously she doesn't have much stuff! She wasn't moving very far either--about 6 blocks, I think. Five minutes with an empty trailer, a little longer loaded.
The hard part was going home at 2:00. I was SO hungry (no lunch yet), my legs and my arms were jello. The squeak in my rusty chain was really bothering me. AND a stiff south wind!
I ate and ate and ate this afternoon! And played computer games. My legs & arms are already sore.
She thinks I'm pretty awesome now. So do I.![]()
