It was 47 degrees when I left the house this morning. The toughest part of riding the bike to work is getting out of bed. Once that hurdle is behind me, everything is great.
Everything except my stamina. Wow! Me out of shape. The one hill I have to climb (one block long) really had my huffing and puffing. I needed the rest once I got to the Bus.
The river is really raging. It running at 16,600 cubic feet per second, according to the paper. That's high but I have seen it running at 50,000.
Just past the river is the demolition of the old YMCA building. It was the only private structure on the park and in spite of the cost, I really think it needed to be removed. No there will be a natural spot there forever...or at least until I'm dead.
Presently it costs me about $7.50 a day to drive my car to work and back again. It's probably higher than that when you factor in insurance and wear and tear.
It costs three dollars to ride the bus to and from work and I get to read the newspaper. Plus, the buses are equipped with Wi-Fi so I can surf the interweb on my Ipod.
PLUS, I need the exercize.
I rode a total of 8.18 mils today.
