Before I go on about my day, I have new BIKE BLING!
I ordered a handlebar bag from Trigo (an independent artist on Etsy). It's made from recycled bicycle inner tubes. It holds my cell phone and my inhaler on my stem where they are handy).
It's so cute!!! At least I think so. How can you be having a bad ride when you look down and see this cute guy staring up at you?
I digress..
It WAS a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The morning's commute was chilly-willy, but since the wind was a north wind and I ride south in the mornings, it was at my back (thank goodness). Not a lot of traffic out, so it was nice and quiet. Just the way I like it.
Have I told you about the saweet setup I have at school? I have an office at the back of the library. Because my office was once part of the living quarters for the nuns that taught at the school years ago, I have a full bathroom in my office. My bike gets parked in my office, and I have the option of showering if I arrive at work all sweaty and worn out.
It's a pretty sweet deal I've got going on there.

The ride home was GLORIOUS!!! The sun was shining, the wind wasn't too bad, and the lake was pretty deserted. Score!!! I rode 15 miles after work and dragged out the commute a little longer than normal. It was so nice. On the dam, the lake just looked so pretty. Breathtaking. Gorgeous. I LOVE this lake!
It was such a nice day for riding, I almost didn't want to come home and have it end. It was one of those days where I could have ridden into the night all the way to Texas (notice that I didn't say I wanted to ride north into the headwind). ;)

oh my, what a GORGEOUS commute you have! And a lovely office too :) Great blog, thank you.
Thanks for reading!
The lake is 9.5 miles around. It's an oasis right in the middle of the city- and my backyard is across the highway from it. I *love* where I live (minus about 4 months of the year when the wind is dreadful. ;)
