Bike Route
Because of the rainy spring that lasted until August, then a heat wave, I haven't taken the bike out much this year.
I have walked all over the place. So, when I thought to ride the bike up to the Post Office today, I didn't think it would be a big deal.
But, as I learned, walking and biking use different muscles.
Now that the weather is cooler and sunny, I need to use the bike ones more often...

Bike Route
Today I got the bike out of the spare room, pumped up the tires and went for a ride.
I know I've had lots of time this year. I know I usually get it out in April.
But, I've had the time to walk places this year, so I haven't done the bike.
I forgot how different it is on the same roads. And, forgot how "interesting" it is to balance groceries on the handle bars while you pedal home. (Not a problem walking.)
But, I'm glad I got it out and will try to do some bike mixed in with the walk.
We'll see how it goes.

Allergies or no, I did the full route on the bike today...WITHOUT A COAT!
That's right 70F with a light wind. If only the plants weren't having sex it would have been perfect.

Twice around the condo complex near me, so I'm up to 2 3/4 miles.
If I add a mile a week, I'll be up for [info]evrgreen's route by late August...

Experience
I did my first bike ride of the year today after work. It is the shortest of the routes I came up with last fall at only 1 3/4 miles. And, I only went around once.
It makes me remember I'm 44 not 14. But, it's a good tired, right?
At least I was able to carry the bike up the stairs at the end.
