A little more then a month before I can ride both ways to work 🚴‍♂️🌇

You know that makes me as a happy as a pig in shit.

But seriously, a day when can ride both ways to work sure beats taking the bus. Usually on a clear day if the bike trail is free snow, by around Valentines Day, I can eek my home on the bike path with enough daylight to make it to the town roads for riding before dusk. Sometimes this is pushing it, obviously this depends on the trail conditions and how cloudy it is. By Presidents Day, if the trail is snow free and the weather is good for riding, then I’m golden.

Not only do I get home feeling all pumped from riding up that hill and enjoying the scenic beauty, I’ll get home 15-20 minutes earlier then if I took the bus. All without the inconvenience and cost of riding the bus. Then I get home, have dinner, and retire to bed. Already it’s great – it’s not pitch black when I leave the office on my bike at 5:15 PM in the evening.
