1st Ride Unsupervised!

[Shortie]

This morning I woke up and really wanted to ride to work, but I had woken up late and it was pretty chilly out to start the day. It was at Tony's house and would need to be warmed up, and I didn't want to be late as my supervisor has been a timeclock nazi lately.

As I sat at my desk all I could think about was my bike, so after agonizing over whether I wanted my first completely solo ride to be in lunchtime madness, I decided to buzz out of work around 11:30 to get it before the lunch crowd really hit the roads.

I was so freakin nervous! There is construction everywhere right now and lots of lights and a couple of weird intersections and potholes between T's house and my office. I hadn't ridden in town yet with Tony, nevermind by myself. Can't avoid it forever, right?

Needless to say I made it in one piece, and I'm working a bit late so I'll be riding home after rush hour. I had to stop at a corner where like 5 young construction guys were working on the pavement. And I had my clear shield on so there was no where to hide  "Don't drop it, don't do something stupid!" Phew!

I lucked out on a parking spot at work too; there were 3 consecutive spaces open right at the end of the lot so I rolled right in and hardly had to adjust the bike in my space. Now I'm pointed the right way to just roll off on my merry way later 

Yay!

Yesterday T and I rode about 80 miles round trip to go see a friend. I passed cars for the first time (kinda scary) and was cruising the curvy back roads at about 65-70. It was awesome! No one likes square tires, right?
