How Was Your Commute Today?

so sorry you were laid off, kfergos! i fully understand you missing your commute. Nothing quite like being forced to go out there and see what the weather has in store for you that day.

today it was sunny- first time in a couple weeks. It was amazing! I took the long way home to get in some extra time in the sun. Ahhh... sunshine! (even if it was cool).

.......eeerk. It's just above freezing, and POURING out. I am not looking forward to this commute.... (no emoticon available, it should look a little like this and a little like this and a little like this and a little just resigned)

Very wet! And I rode from work to the LBS (across town) because my front wheel is rubbing & squeaking, no matter what I've tried. I was glad of disc brakes. A truck driver went around a car that was stopped for me and almost hit me. I stopped within inches of his front wheel. In a downpour. Still, I had fun and was glad I didn't drive. I must be out of my mind.

Nonexistent. Instead of commuting I got to scramble around at home halfdressed in bike gear (shorts, tights, bra) pandering to my 12 yr. old son who may or may not have swine flu and is in bed looking sorta pleased with the whole thing, digging out our very seldom used thermometer, and subsequently removing all the bathroom furniture and chasing, sweeping and vacuuming up microscopic beads of mercury from the bathroom tiles. I fully understand that poetic term of "chasing quicksilver" now - dang, they're fast!

I better get some clothes on and go buy a new thermometer...

God bedring to your little boy, LPH!

I actually cycled to work today. Been a week since last time. Felt great, even the monster hill wasn't too bad. Then I realized it was the strong tailwind giving me a boost. Hope the wind eases or changes direction by the time I head home... But a glorious day today: blue skies, crisp air and all the leaves are turning bright colours.

thanks, uke! Yup, it's been a brilliant autumn, hasn't it. Nothing quite like biking through the glow of autumn leaves over you, around you, and on the ground.
