On the morning commute I was caught in a downpour along the way home. Trudging on through, it came as a baptismal moment in the
"Born Again Bicyclist -2010" story.
A Cycling Sacrament! A right of seasonal passage and acknowledgment, -Spring comes a thunder!
Anyhow, it was a soaking, but "it felt good to be out IN the rain!
Feeling right in the swing of commuting! My commute time this afternoon: 01:24, corresponds with my birthday! Homeward bound headwinds were a factor holding down my average speed...
These double work day commutes do represent a substantial time commitment, which offsets a need to bike long distances on weekends. Thirty two to thirty four miles, five days a week represent more than half my projected total mileage for this year.
Come Summer time I hope to make some long road, trail and/or towpath trips too.
It all remains to be experienced but it sure feels like Its going to be my best year yet. Last years cycling was hampered by knee issues. No problems of that sort so far this year! Key factors in properly functioning joints is adequate sleep, Turmeric and Fish oil!
