One of the first signs of Spring is when I ride my bike to work. Generally it is a late first sign of Spring, as I have never ridden my bike to work in April. It's usually late May at the earliest.
I rode my bike today. At least, I rode it downtown and rode the bus out to work. It was a chilly Covid-19 free ride and it took about 13 minutes. The total distance from the house to downtown is just about two miles.
I intend to keep this up. I need to get myself in shape. I was sucking wind when I got to the bus stop. The good news is there was no chest pain.
The other good news is that at no point in the ride did I have to get off the bike and push. That was a concern. There is one hill on the southbound route that is steep but only a short block long. The north bound route has a gentle hill that is three regular blocks long.
They both tap me out. I want to improve that. But I was able to peddle up the hill this morning without pause. But I sure was breathing hard.
The other thing I learned is I can leave at 6:35 AM and still have plenty of time to catch the bus.
So I've got that going for me.
