Election Day Rides

[kfergos]

Happy birthday and yay for voting!

I rode to the polls and got in line at 6:40 this morning. It was colder than I thought and I forgot gloves, so my fingers felt like ice. Fortunately they warmed up before I had to try to fill in little scan-tron bubbles! Then I rode to work on such a dazzling beautiful morning, it made me sad to get off the bike.

As Crankin said, right now it's in the 60s -- 64 here in Shrewsbury -- and I'm planning on taking the hilly way from work to enjoy this unseasonable lovely weather.

We've been getting relatively heavy rain here in NC - so no riding for me. Already took care of all election related stuff, so no need to rush out. No lines here, though.

Happy Election Day, everyone!

Norwegians are following the American election very closely, this is all very exciting, I can't wait to hear the news tomorrow morning!

Rode to the local elementary school to vote and took a short ride after. It's quite warm here too but very gray.
No lines, I was in and out in ten minutes.

Now to prep food for tonight's party

It's only a few blocks to the school where we vote so we walked. We waited until 10:30 to let the rush of people voting before work clear out, but even so it was packed. Had lunch and then went on a nice ride in the beautiful sunshine. It was easy to spot the polling places, they were all surrounded by cars and senior center buses. I think this is the heaviest visible turnout I can remember.

I didn't get to ride to vote because I did it on the way to work (which I can't ride to b/c it's too darn far).
I gotta say- I've never felt so proud to be an American and have the right to vote as I did today. I waited in line for 40 min. and was so excited that so many Americans were out voicing their opinion and making a choice. It's what this democracy is all about (oops- I typed deomcrazy first- hmm...).
I LOVE that so many people are getting out and voting. There's a buzz in the air today (and a 40 mph wind, but that's another story).

I rode to an acupuncture appointment before I came back to vote. I didn't ride to the polls, but was still in my kit because I wanted to get to the polls before the rush and didn't have time to shower and all. Glad I went when I did because the line wasn't too bad and I expect that as the afternoon went on it got longer.
