Car free day 3

Hey! That rhymes! Anyways, I decided, since today was supposed to be (and was) an absolutely clear and beautiful day, that I would take advantage of the good weather and bike into work. Since I had cannibalized the headlight off of my bike to use for a flashlight, I had to track that down before I could head out. I decided, having left my windows open overnight, that I wouldn't even need a jacket for the ride today, and proceeded to head out the door to ride my bike the 4 miles to work in 60F weather.

The part down main street was about as I had expected, quite a few cars, a bit on the windy side, and slightly harrowing at times, but mostly fine, and quite uneventful. Rather than try to cross the lane of traffic to get into the left turn lane to get onto Brookwood, I opted for using the crosswalk. Once up to Airport Road, I cut over to the multi-use path which runs through Dawson Creek Park. I proceeded to get a little turned around in there, and ended up back next to Brookwood for the second half of the trip through the park, but I should be able to keep it sorted out from now on. All in all, the ride took me about 30 minutes. A little slower than I'd like, but considering I haven't ridden my bike at all in the last months, and that there was a 10mph headwind for about half of the trip, I'm not too broken up about it.

I rode back, also in about 30 minutes, cutting over from the park to Brookwood at the library on the way. I feel awesome after having biked both ways between work. I can totally do this on any clear day with few to no issues at work.
