Yesterday I did all the hills on my commute to school for the first timeI don't think it would be much of a ride for most of you but for me it was really good. I'm so proud of myself.

I rode downtown yesterday and stopped at the LBS (awesome!) and then road up a long hill, turned around and came back, then went up another really big hill and that one I just flew up like I was in a race. It was an awesome feeling. I was only slightly out of breath at the top. I guess my stamina is increasing

Will it ever happen? I decided I would ride to work today, as BestMate and I are attending a Cadel Evans talk in town this evening. The plan was: Ride to work, work, ride to local train station, catch train into town with bike, attend CE talk, ride home. Sounds great, right?
I got myself all ready last night.. did everything I could think to do in order to be ready to: wake up, loo, eat, shower, get dressed, say goodbye to MaxBabe and MitchMutt, ride. However, there is one minor problem. It's pissing down rain. ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Maybe tomorrow.

Oh I feel your pain. It's been pissing rain here a lot lately. Not just drizzle but rain that will practically knock you off your bike lol. I've ridden in it a couple times but only when I had time to get there early and somewhat dry off. What a pain. Next semester I don't have any classes before 12:30 p.m. so I'll have lots of time to get ready and get there early. I might even shower at the gym if I don't feel too self-conscious.

Your commute sounds like a great plan when the day is right. I hope tomorrow is better!

I almost feel guilty about the weather we've been having lately. I'm sure we'll pay for it later (the whole town closed down for several snow days last April). In the meantime, I'm loving every beautiful day and cherishing each ride!
