I’ve took a long hard look at the summer coming up and realised that I will not get too many opportunities to do any serious biking. A decision was then made to bike to school at least once a week. I’ve biked to downtown and back before so it should not be too bad, but I’ve never done it “on the clock” in both directions.
Tomorrow is the first day, I got my bike ready and I washed my biking clothes. I still need to get the panniers filled with all the stuff and get my lunch and school clothes prepared. I am nervous, wish me luck!
This weekend was nice enough, it was the first instance of summer weather. I got my sandals and skirts out. I actually got a lot done without too much rushing. I went wedding dress shopping with Maria, got my bike ready for the road, went for a nice walk with my boys, tidied up the front yard, got groceries, helped Chris catch his plane on time, visited Alex, played with Trevor etc. What a gorgeous start of a summer!
Wow, let me know how long it takes you, I may have to bike to work too!
Ended up getting a sore foot so I took the bus instead. I got home early because facilities haven’t turned off the heat in Carleton so I had to bike to Trev’s daycare. I am still not in great biking shape. I will try to bike around on weekends to improve, but it might take me a bit.
A good cyclist could do that route in 45 minutes. It will probably take me over an hour the first couple of times. Mind you I won’t be going back to school until they turn off the heat which, historically, takes a few weeks.
