Bike to Work, day 34: Back!
June 16, 2009
This morning I hit my snooze button but didn’t go back to sleep; I couldn’t. Today’s the day I get off my butt and bike to work!
It would have been yesterday, but I forgot to set the alarm back. I woke up eager to ride, but it was already too late to leave. Still, this allowed me to carry a larger quantity of clothes into the office.
I still forgot some essentials, for example: a towel, and some clothing I’d rather not mention. Oh well.
0:21′40, 6.94mi
avg 19.2mph, max 28.6mph
54ºF, Odo 933.2mi
Cadence: 90rpm!
*Damp conditions, very humid
By ‘very humid’ I mean some of the time it felt like it was raining, except no water was falling, it just hung there in the air.
I took the bridge over the big intersection. It took more time but I didn’t have to worry about traffic.
I keept my cadence at 85-100rpm the whole time. A couple times I dropped below 80 but shifted right away. Knee problems be gone!
It feels great to be back.
