A couple of days ago, I arrived home for lunch aboard my single-speed Trek-erizer! As I prepared my pasta, the mailman stopped by with a package. “More bike parts,” I thought to myself. But it was not. Actually, it was a package from the Way To Go Club. Every week, I log my commute miles to and from work, and they tally them up. Apparently, I had reached a milestone and was receiving a nifty travel mug, a sticker, and a free caffeine ride at Break Espresso. Now that I am without a car and it is raining today (I must ride), it is nice to know that I will be rewarded.
Yes, as I sit here getting ready for work, it has started to rain. You would think it would be a good thing with all the wildfires filling the valley with smoke. Instead of the cool, refreshing smell of sweet rain, it is a choking smell of burnt wood. My throat is sore, and if the air does not clear up, it may get worse.
On tap for this weekend is a trip to Idaho for a mountain bike race, and tonight is the Thursday Night Ride. I think my normal mountain bike will be staying home in favor of my Trek-erizer since it is supposed to rain all day. Cheerio!
