Course: Bike 2 Work Day Route 1.

It has been an entire week since I last rode my bicycle to work and I have been feeling a little guilty about it. In fact, rather than decreasing the number of miles I have been commuting this past week it, my "miles driven" has actually increased (due to my evening courses on the opposite side of town)!

I finally got back in the saddle this morning, though as I sit here typing at 8:43 a.m., the clouds are thickening and it looks like there is rain in store. With my bicycle neatly locked to the bike rack behind the school, in the wide-open, all I can think is... uh-oh!

Back Home: 11 miles in :58:25 min. @ 2:50 p.m.
Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 92°F, 45% Humidity, Wind: SSW @ 8 mph; feels like 93°F.

The rain came in hard for about 45 minutes and left only a humid sticky air behind. Fortunately, by the time I made it outside at the end of the day my seat was try, and all was as if it had not rained at all!

Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
