Biking to work

Today was my test run to see how long it would take me to ride my bike to work. So, I got up extra early this morning and left the house at 6:50 am. 25 min. later I was at the back door to my work. So, I put my bike away and headed in to get cleaned up and ready for work. I had bad helmet head, but I was prepared with my brush and hair spray. I just put my hair into a pony tail and started my day. The good news is my coffee cup fit in my water bottle holder, so I was able to enjoy my mocca java when I arrived at work this morning, plus I feel really good. I have time to read the paper and blog before I start my shift for the day. The ride wasn't all that bad, but I found it was cold riding down the big hill (that was the first 10 min. of my bike ride). After that, it was much better, but I didn't like the big logging trucks so close to me, so when I made it to Rose St. (small hill to ride up) I went up and drove along 2nd Ave. I could feel the burn, but that's what I am looking for...need to get my excercise! My goal is to try and ride my bike to work for the entire month of August. As long as the weather co-operates, I should be fine, but, you won't catch me riding in the rain and at the end of the month. I usually need the car to run errands at month end. Well, I guess we will see how it goes! The good thing is I am getting my excercise!
