How Was Your Commute Today?

Did my first post-crash ride today: 8.35 miles to the transit center on the Xtracycle. Cool and breezy, and I felt incredibly weak and slow, but I made it. Back on the horse!

Attagirl!

The last of the snow in my yard is gone as of today but there's still plenty around.

I've commuted in the last 3 days on my Xtracycle, since the normal bike is out of commission for an indefinite period of time. Riding that Xtracycle makes me feel like I'm just getting on a bike for the first time in years, it's so much heavier and harder to move. It is so much work, especially up all those famous Seattle hills, even if I'm crawling along at like 6 mph (which I am!). My legs are toast after only 61 miles ridden this week.

And I still have 20 miles home tonight, plus 22 mi each way to Bike Expo Saturday and Sunday! Riding the Xtracycle will sure get me buff...or kill me in the process.

I finally got to ride today. I was at a meeting in Philadelphia all week. I hoped to rent a bike while I was there, but I was not able to find the bike shop. Or perhaps I did and he had misinformed me about their hours. The hotel was 1.5 miles from the meeting and I walked when I could, but I overslept once and it was raining heavily the next morning. I won't melt but I didn't want to sit in the conference in wet clothes all day.

Anyway, today is windy, so it was slow going, and coming back was right when schools were letting out, and I passed both the high school and the junior high AND went through the university trying to get home, so THAT was also slow going. I need to be smarter about my route choice at 3:00. That's usually the best route except right then. I might have been better of on the main street, despite it being narrow and full of high school drivers.

I couldn't figure how to stuff 2lbs of Danish butter cookies in my panniers. so I opted to pass today. Plus I wanted to see how dark it is now in the morning
