Well yesterday I hit 400 miles for the year! Rode to work, what a beautiful morning. The weather has turned, no jacket needed even with the breeze. Biking to work really does make me feel pretty darn good when I get to work, much better than driving. I wish I could be one of those people who just gives up their car entirely. Do see that happening though, not anytime soon.
After work decided to meet up with Dave for drinks at the Cab. Tried to take the trail but following the trail through Johnston into Urbandale turned out to be a little tricky. Johnston trails are not as well signed as the trails in Clive. Ended up off the trail and on the streets well before I wanted. Not a big fan of wearing a helmet so I try to stay off the streets as much as possible.
The Cab's patio sets facing the west sun, so I got to work on my 'tan'. The heat from the sun was so wonderful and made the pitcher (with a bag of ice) really tasty. It was good to catch up with Dave, he got a new Cyclocross bike it looks really cool. It should make for a much nicer Ragbrai ride than the tank he rode last year. He will most certainly need a rack and bag as that duffle bag he was carrying did not look comfortable. That's the thing about biking there is always more stuff to get!
I didn't bike to work today, so sad, as it is another beautiful day. But I have some errands to run and would like to be back downtown in time for the Ride of Silence today.
