Just chillin.

It feels so good to just relax. Just ask Templeton, who likes to lay on the glass shelf of the entertainment center.















Jenni and I just had to go for a bike ride, but we decided to take it easy. It wasn't too hot and the sun poked out, so we rode down Riverside. That's it for now, I'll probably start winding down because we have to work in the morning.

Second half of bike commute...

Well, I would consider that a success! It only sucked riding back home because I was a little tired and there was a head wind slowing me down. Also, my Timbuktu was freaking heavy on my back!

Ok, here's the stats!

Date: June 25
Mileage: 9.41
June mileage: 18.12

Max speed: 25 mph
Ride time: 44:11 (nonstop)
Average: 12.7 mph

It was a good day at work. I really enjoy it, but there are some times in the day that it gets hard to do stuff.


I also snapped this pic while riding. From my phone.
















Jenni is making dinner, so I better get going. Just wanted to give an update. Also, I want to try to keep riding to work, but my bag is way to heavy on my back. I need something else. And I need to give my hiney a rest.

Talk to you later! Get out there and ride!

1st day of bike commute.

Wow. I just got to work. And I biked here! My first bike commute to work ever! Anyway, I'm going to steal something from a blog that I read. Follow the "Up in Alaska" blog link on your right...

Date: June 25
Mileage: 8.71
June mileage: 8.71
Temperature upon departure: 76 F w/77% humidity

Now, that isn't my total for today yet. That's only riding to work. I still have to ride home.

Guess what. I forgot my socks. Yup. I'm just glad I didn't forget pants! How would that be, me sitting at my desk with bike shorts on!

Ok, stats...

Mileage: 8.71
Max speed: 23 mph
Ride time: 37:12 (nonstop)
Average: 14 mph

I'm happy with myself!

Here is the only thing... I wish work had a shower. I tend to sweat. But I cleaned up in the bathroom. There is a YMCA down the street that I may try and get a membership at. I should see if work will pay for it... It's worth a shot.

Well, that's all for now. Have a great day!
