yesterday's ride was on a longer stretch of road than i have done before - at least in training mode...
and it was a lot of fun... once i got out on the main road - well that first left turn onto the road and the slight hill is a doosy... there is a bend before there so you are always conscientious of the cars that will be zooming around it... and then you are on that slight incline so your own pace is a little slow... but once you get moving it is good...
i also realised that the road that i wanted to try the most has a pretty good shoulder/almost bike lane on it... so that was nice - and of the 6 traffic lights i had to go through only one gave me a little bit of trouble by being red... 2 others were right on red situations... 2 others were better pedal faster to ensure you make it through the light... and 1 was a total non event...
i think some of noise from the cars as i cycle dont seem as dauting because of the whole scooter thing - maybe maybe not... i was surprised that there were so many cars out at that hour on a holiday weekend
obvioulsy today I am getting a later start so that should prove interesting to day the least
i saw a man wearing a shrek cycle jersey - funny thing MGV said at work on Friday that she thinks Wayne Rooney looks like Shrek without the green skin... that made me smile as the guy rode by
i also saw the Kohls coming soon sign on Tom Short road where that huge new building is going up
and the cicadas are no longer a distraction
now enough procrastinating... gonna finish this coffee, pack up the gym bag and be on my way...
the bike - i left that on the car from yesterday - good thinking - i know...
