How Was Your Commute Today?

Warm and Windy all week this week over this side of the world as well

First week back commuting after a week long break due to the flu - still chesty and a little congested, but I feel so much better being out there on the bike rather than being stuck in a car or on the bus

Hot, hot, hot. 90s for the ride home.

And needed to get groceries at lunch. So it was a perfect opportunity to try out my new insulated grocery bag and ice mat. Kept the stuff in the office fridge all afternoon. Eggs, spring mix, mushrooms, and cheese were the primary "cold" things. Also got some fruit, rolls, and assorted whatnots. Loaded up the bag before I left - cold stuff on the bottom, room temp stuff at the top. Slid it snuggley into my POS grocery pannier. Rode home in the blast furnace. Worked like a champ. Cool stuff remained cool for my 40 minutes on the road. I don't think I'd put ice cream in there, but if I had a lot of frozen stuff (frozen dinners or whatnot), I think it'd be fine. So...a successful first test of my grocery bags in the heat. Yay.

I just started a new thread about my commute, but here's the condensed version: stuff thrown at me, 911, they got caught with a bunch of stolen goods in their car, bad guys off the street. And I had tail winds both ways! Yay.

Whooohooo for tail winds both ways, glad you are safe and was able to do what you needed to do!

I commuted to yoga. The sun was finally shining. I took the day off — recovering from our (twin) daughters' graduation on Sunday. After yoga DH & I went fly fishing. It was a splendiferous day!

In general, had a normal commute, stayed dry as it was mostly cloudy. The morning commute was interesting as all the rivers around here are at or near flood stage. The affect on commuting is that our floating section of the Eastbank Esplanade is near level with the terra-firma section. The ramp in this picture is suppose to be going down back there.



I should note that in the morning light I did not realize just how much the ramp had risen (it's been somewhat up now for over 2 weeks) and actually rode up this thing

Oh, and they closed this section until the river drops.

Nice ride to/from work. My travel is short as it is about 1.25 mi each way.

I have to laugh though....I ride pretty aggressively on my Trek Pure Lowstep, which is funny because BlueBell is not an aggressive bike by ANY stretch of the imagination. I rode very timidly on my road bike. Go figure. Can't wait to get my BF NWT next month!
