Bike Day 5ive

I started off my ride this morning and it was not at all chilly. It was a great ride all the way downtown.

They have a public forum going on today and I'm going to go check it out on my way home. I want to offer my suggestion to have a card that I can just load up with $20.00 good towards rides. I'm going to stop at the Bus Shop first and make sure they don't already offer that. It is my impression that they do not offer such a card.

I rode around at lunch. I'm generally putting about 6 to 10 miles on the bike each day I ride.

I have also noticed that this is my fifth day riding this year. I have totally waxed my 2011 bike riding but have a few more days to match my 2010 record of nine riding days. It seems to me that over the length of a summer, I should be able to ride at least 30 times. I certainly feel capable of doing that this season.

Stayed tuned for results.

Bike Ride Day Number 4

It's my Fourth Day of riding my bike to work. It is a hot one out there! I think they are forecasting a high of 80 degrees today, which is about 20 degrees over normal for this time of year. I went out at lunch and rode around and it was definitely warmish. I just checked to weather on-line and it said 82 degrees.

Anyway, I ride a minimum of 6 miles when I ride to work and I'm expecting that will be my number today. I managed to ride three times last week.

I want to try and get a good number of consecutive days riding my bike. I think I have ridden a full week before but if I did, I've done it only once.

I will try for four days this week. I have to drive tomorrow because I have a meeting after work and I am not able to get there by bike in time for the meeting.

I just can't seem to arrange my life to ride my bike regularly and make driving the special occasion. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough or I'm just not that committed to it. I'll tell you one thing. Gas prices are approaching four bucks a gallon and that is effecting my lifestyle to the point where I'm becoming committed.

I think that is Barak's socialist plan.

This is not interesting for you as a reader, but frankly, I can't imagine you being drawn back to this blog for any reason. There is nothing here but my inane musings which I don't even find interesting.

What the hell is wrong with you?!

Bike Season is Back!

I rode my bike to work today. I rode yesterday too. It looks like this is going to be a nice week as far as the weather goes so I'm going to try and make the most of it and get some riding in.

Also, the bus I ride out to Liberty Lake from downtown has changed its route. It is now a true Express. It leaves Liberty Lake and heads right downtown. No more stops in the Valley. It takes the Division Street Exit which offers more convenient options for me and it parks in a better spot at the Bus Plaza.

All in all, I am very pleased with the changes. It adds joy and excellence to my morning and afternoon bike rides. And as you may know, I support both joy and excellence.
