I commuted all week in the cold weather on my single speed bike. So glad that John got me some really comfy cycling gloves, and this thing to put around my head to help with the wind. My new helmet had some cool earmuffs.
It was really fun finding a route home without using a map. I just used my instincts, which unfortunately made me ride on the access road for about a minute, but after that, I found my way home just by the feel of the ride, or whatever. The ride to the bus was about 6 miles total, the ride home the one day I took my bike the entire way home was about 15 miles.
I made plans with people after work on my bicycle, so that I would have to commute, so I really only rode my bike to work M, T, and Th, and Rode home on Monday. Maybe next week I can get a little better at doing the entire commute without taking rides home, etc.
Tuesday night Julie picked me up from work and we went to karaoke. We didn't sing. I got to see her new boots. These boots deserve their own blog entry! I am inspired to get new boots to keep my feet warm. I think this winter will be fun as long as I am dressed properly, and so far so good. I just need to toss that yellow hoodie I got and get some wind breaker stuff.
