Not as Chilly

It was a much warmer morning than in recent days. I couldn't find my gloves but it turned out I didn't need them. I had a nice ride downtown and really worked the hills for a change. I love the way I sail into and through the park in the morning.

To help with passenger bike flow, I took the Sullivan #72 Bus today.

I got down to the Bus Plaza and there was an unfamiliar girl standing there with a bike. Jasper wasn't there yet. By rights, I had my spot on the bus. When Jasper rolled up a few minutes later, he and I exchanged a look and then I said I would take the other bus. It gets me out to Liberty Lake about 10 to 15 minutes later than the #74. It also is a full bus. The majority of people get off as it goes through the Industrial Park.

It works out better for Jasper because the bus I normally ride goes right past his work. Going home is when time makes more of a difference to me. I always want to be home as fast as I can.

It is August now and I have a new mileage goal of 150 miles. There are 21 days in August in which I could ride to work. That means I have to ride se7en miles every one of those days. I plan on taking a few more evening rides to help pull those numbers up. Only 147.5 miles to go.
