Hellllooooo May!

I've missed you so much... it's nice to have you back old friend.  Please stick around for at least two months so we can enjoy you. 

Miles commuted today:  17
Miles driven:  0.  Woo hoo!!

Look at this water:  when Lake Hefner is smooth as glass you KNOW there's no wind.  Yee haw!!

Today was glorious!!!  Rode to work this morning in the cool (almost cold) air, and then took an hour detour on the ride home to ride around the lake.  I planned on riding twice around, but ran into a friend and we got to talking... and 30 minutes later it was time to head home.  I'm glad I stopped to chat, tho, because hubby came riding up behind me.

Look who I ran into at the lake (it's the hubs)

We continued riding at the lake for a few more miles, then made the turn and headed home.  We live right across the highway from the lake, and are fortunate to be able to ride to the lake and home again without much effort.  It's nice being so close to something so beautiful (and useful).

Riding through the neighborhood on the way home

I bought a new handlebar bag, and have been using it the last couple days.  It's tiny and compact and I LOVE it.  It will be perfect for Freewheel next month.  I've been looking at handlebar bags for about 2 years now, and I finally bit the bullet and bought one.  I'm happy with my purchase.  It will be perfect.

Finally we arrived back at home. I was disappointed to arrive at home- as strange as that may be.  I wish I could ride all night long, but other responsibilities call.  I need to get on the treadmill and do a couple mile hike tonight.  The Grand Canyon trip is coming up soon, and I still have lots of preparation to do...

Since May is Bike To Work month, I will bike every day this month.  I vow to ride my bike every time I can.  Life is good!
