Home-Forever

I started out on my 25-30 mile commute to work yesterday and almost went to my permanent home! I had put my bike together in the garage and started down the hill. As I approached the T intersection, a car was right behind me and another one was coming at me. I went to apply both brakes and realized I hadn’t reconnected them after putting my tires back on. I leaned my bike over and managed to make the turn – narrowly missing the side of the oncoming car.

I cleaned out my shorts, fixed the brakes and kissed the family when I got home.

Home-Movies

We finally made the ride to Camp Geneva. The 20-mile route is described in a previous post. Only five (good) men did the trip, but it was nice. There was a tail-wind and the rain held off. It was a cold and windy day, but the chicken and afternoon service was awesome! Here’s a short movie of the trip.

Home-Maze

I ran about 9 miles today. It may have been closer to ten miles after getting lost in a trailer park maze. Shortcuts rarely pay off! This was probably one of my last good runs before next weekend. Classes start in the morning!

Home-Banking

Not much running. I’ll try to get out today. In addition to biking to and from work on Friday, I did my banking via bike on Saturday. Together, I went about 40 miles. I’m still feeling like a slug for not running. I would like to keep biking to work. It will need to be Tuesday and Thursday though. I have to take a bunch of boys to school MWF! I hope to run those days.
