How Was Your Commute Today?

I rode into town for a meeting, and then back home (where I work). 6 miles total. It was great and I didn't have to go around and around looking for a parking spot for my car.

That's the BEST part for me, Tulip. Driving in parking garages makes everyone I know nuts.

I made it in to school for my 8 AM and then am now in my office hours. Great way to wake up. Got here in about 16 minutes. I think I will leave at 7:30 next time. I was way early.

It's really the BEST! It only takes me 15 in by bike, but would take me 10 by car. And it's much more pleasant. Can't wait for it to cool down so I can start wearing a coat to work! (I'll regret that sentence in February, I presume).

Wind burst and threatening thunderstorm when I was leaving made me want to avoid the big downhills (which scare me a little anyway). Scouted out a new potential route.

Next chance to try it out will be Friday.

Commute yesterday was long but fun. I was just getting ready to ride home when DS, now 15 and taller than his mom, calls and says he would like to go swimming with me at a certain lake and he would like to ride his bike there, taking the long way through the woods that takes almost an hour, even though there's a bus that would take him right there... It was a massive detour for me but I couldn't possibly refuse.

So an hour's ride to the lake, 20 minutes there until the sun disappeared behind the trees and 45 minutes home again with my big, longlegged, suddenly way too fit son

Didn't commute yesterday. First day of teaching my own labs and I wanted to look really nice and serious. Today I commuted in to my 8 AM/office hours again - hauling a$$ if I must say. I rode in a dress with cycling shorts and it was cool and perfect. Riding back at 3 after my dr.'s appt. is going to be brutal, I think.

The weather has cooled to daytime temps of 85 in Maryland. It's allowing me to wear my work clothes on the bike while commuting and I love it. Today, I saw a seagull and a bi-plane on the way to work.
