Halfway There

So after a belated start to my own personal Bike Month, I made it two days riding out of two today, even though I had to squeeze it in real quick-like, driving part of the way to work this morning and then biking the rest of the commute from there. I figure I might as well make it 2-for-2 on blog posts go as well, even though I don't have a ton to say at the end of this very full day...other than that despite the abbreviated ride, I'm exhausted.

Back on the Bike, Back at the Keyboard

So...six days into May 2013, I finally noticed that it's Bike Month here in Austin.

Without knowing it, I had actually already started participating last week, though it was an observance just about as embarrassing as it was unwitting.

Despite a cold, biting wind on the evening of May 2nd, I took a stab at Austin's popular Thursday Night Social Ride. I wasn't because I knew about the holiday month just kicking off, it was just a desire to get out on the road and stretch my legs a little bit - it has been months since I did any serious riding.
