Commute no.16
Guess what I did today? You guessed it, dear readers! I actually rode my bike to work today! Tennis has not closed it doors just yet, but the schedule is such that I'm on the bike the next few days. I rode the LHT b/c it's still set up as the "get on/ride/weather or light be damned" ride and although my backside didn't overly enjoy the Brooks Conquest, by afternoon I was good to go in the near-perfect 65F and sunny. I can imagine today being what Wisconsin is like in the summer. I also ran across 2 cyclists this morning, both with questionable style. One came up on my left and blew past without a warning. Not cool. I waved at another, who proceeded to blow me off even with direct acknowledgement.
I used the bike this afternoon to wynde through Audobon Park, Creason and up to Bellarmine to drop off a package, and then a bit more in Seneca Gds. My pace reflected 'Grok' theory. More on that later, but a damn nice day, and I hope my locals got out to enjoy the sun fest as well.
Now if someone would just mow the extremely tall grass.

I still haven't gotten around to buying a bike (partly due to other expenses that take priority), but I'm hoping to ride at least around our neck of the woods this summer...
