quick bike entry

[winterbadger]

Negatives: Took way too long to suss out and correct a very annoying dragging brake shoe. Also, my left knee started getting very tired after about 4 miles.

Positives: Saw doves, crows, jays, tits of various sorts, and a red-headed woodpecker! Also saw a buck deer! I think that's the first time I've seen one along the trail. He was very handsome. Also a positive is that I did finally manage to figure out what the problem with the brake was and correct it myself. And it's a very nice morning to be outside in.

Yum. Deer. Venison sausage is completely delicious.

Do you have a place you can shower and change when you get to work? I used to wish I could ride, when I lived in the city - typically I worked downtown, a mile or two from my apartment. But you can't exactly bike in nice work clothes and arrive presentable. Although I guess in winter your chances are maybe a bit better.

There is a gym at work, so I could shower & so on. At the moment I ride in a park near home, shower at home, and go in after. One of these days I may be brave enough to bike to work, but that will be a while yet.

Wow, you must be getting up early. I have an extremely strong aversion to waking up more than an hour before I have to leave for work. :-)

Not early enough. My plan is to get up at 6.30, go out to bike at 7, get back around 8, shower, eat breakfast,a nd check mail, and leave for work around 8.45. After a string of weeks in which I was getting up late because I'd stayed up late the night before, this meaning I was to work late, which meant I had to stay up late, which meant I was late the next morning... I'm slowly fighting my way back. But I'm not there yet.
