stuntbunny rides again

First bike commute of the season this morning! It was a little bit breezy, but otherwise just fine. I felt quite strong this morning -- it was easier to push faster, at a tighter (higher?) gear than I was using last fall. YAY. I still go mild-to-moderate for effort on the trip *to* work so I won't be a Sweaty Betty; heading home can be moderate-to-intense...to whatever extent the traffic lights will allow.

In terms of heart rate, it's probably not a terribly intense workout, but it's still ~30-40 minutes of dedicated activity. Plus, it gave PB the car for the day. Girl is starting to clear things outta her room. :: sniff ::

Mine has fenders and two baskets that will attach to a carrying platform thingie in the back (I refuse to call them saddlebags). It's sort of a Bentley, as bikes go.

Yay! That feeling of strength after doing a physical activity you haven't for a while... I grok. So much joy in such a small endeavor, but nonetheless Important.

I need to air up my tires and blow the cobwebs out, too.
