How Was Your Commute Today?

[deanywalker21]

I decided to take the "hilly" route this morning. As I am coming up one of the long hills I see red flashing school bus lights.....and more driveways with kids...I thought I was safe, it was like 6:30 and I did not think buses picked anyone up before 7 am...guess times have changed. Anyway the bus driver finished picking up the first group of kids, slowed way down and did not put the lights on again until I was just passed her...she made my day...that hill was something and I really do not think I would have had enought steam left to get the bike going again. After having been doing this for only two weeks my co-workers are expecting me to bike in everyday. I got to buck 14 mph winds in 84 degree temps on my ride home. It made me very glad that my route is full of twists and turns so that I got a break from the wind. I almost forgot my car keys when I left work at the end of the day, put my wallet in my bike bag and left the keys laying on my desk. Lucky for me I got a phone call just before leaving and spotted the keys...makes me think I should seperate my work keys from my car key and keep the car key in the bag. That would have just not made for a good Friday night...tripple the traffic, the miles and that wind.
