Chilly Bike Ride

Today was my eleventh day of riding the bike to work and it was the chilliest day yet. Once you get going in the morning, the likelihood of returning to get a coat or worse, just drive to work becomes less likelihoody. You just have to push on. I'm still trying to warm up as I sit here and type.

I almost rode yesterday but it turned out to be good I didn't. I would surely have been rained upon.

I think my semi-continuous efforts to ride the bike to work are paying off. The hills on my route to and from work loom less ominously as I approach. I seem to get up them with less effort. However, there is effort involved.

I also rode on Monday. That was a slightly different route as I had a 9:45 Doctor's Appointment with Dr. Kadel, my Cardiologist. I loaded the bike on the car and drove it over to a Mechanics Shop for a much needed front wheel bearing.

From there, I rode to Dolly's Cafe for some breakfast and to check up on my newspaper. 

After a relaxing breakfast, I rode up to the Medical region of town  in plenty of time for my appointment. I was about a half hour early. More time to peruse the paper.

I was able to get out of there with a satisfactory bill of health and make the next bus to Liberty Lake.
