Gorgeous Saturday Commute
Finally, it was a nice day with no threatening thunderstorms, and nothing to do after work immediately. Onwards, Penelope!
My ride to work was glorious.. it started a little chilly, I biked 11.1 miles at an average of 10.7mph.
I stopped to look at a bunny that hopped in front of me and sat for a moment. Very sweet.
The morning is just my favorite time. There is no one else on the bike path, it isn't too hot, and it's just a great way to start the day.
It was nice to get a ride in for Midsommar - tomorrow's weather for actual Midsommar looks to be rainy with thunderstorms. Not so nice.
Certainly today's ride made up for it.
The afternoon ride was not as nice. It was a lot warmer, and I foolishly decided to take a different route home, down a much busier street. It was crowded and a little scary - way too many cars on way too narrow a street.
On top of that, there was a wine festival at the waterfront. If I had taken my normal route, I would have skipped the whole crowd. I really dislike bike path traffic jams. There's construction at the beginning of the bike path off the waterfront, and the path is really narrow and unpleasant.
This is why I prefer the morning for riding.
Still, it was a great ride home. The route I took was a little shorter - only 10 miles instead of 10.7(ish), and I averaged 10.2 mph.
