Re-First Commute
Date: Sept 14 Fri
Mileage: 15 (LHT)
September mileage: 25
Year to date: 1432
Hooray!!! Today felt like I did the first commute of the present school year all over again. After getting only 1.5 weeks of work commuting in before the ankle thing (and then heart thing), today felt fresh and tentative like a first day would. I certainly didn't have any rhythm concerning clothes, b/c I really couldn't find much this a.m. Frankly I didn't have much riding rhythm either, but I was riding!!
Highlight (lowlight?) of the day: Seeing a sing [sic] (*i put that in there on Saturday after noticing that "sign" had become "sing" due to my poor typing. i looked up to verify its correct usage, so there you have it) draped across a door down Shelby Park area (read 'hood' for outoftowners) that read MY BITCH FINALLY DID IT!. I still can't quite come to terms with whether it actually said that, but I think it was a boy birth announcement- blue instead of pink- but that's what it announced. Damn I'd like to be his daughter.
Riding on the 'stache bars got me thinking that I will probably need another stem, as the one now is too short. We'll see about the stem/slope combo. That could slow the deal down unless the adjustable stems are peachy.
But on the bike and saving the world!!
