<\/p>\nWell, yesterday, it was that time again — time for a different
\nview on my way to work.<\/p>\n
(Luckstone Quarry lookout, W&OD bike trail)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nA momentary aberration in my daily commute — Bike to Work Day! (Or, as
\nI like to think of it — “Guilt-free eating day” \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s ride was 19mi in, and 19mi home, in about 90min
\n(each). I was pretty pleased — given that the last time I’d
\nridden seriously might well have been BtWD 2007. I had arranged
\nmyself not to have to bring lots of stuff with me (left the computer at
\nwork the night before, et cetera). It made a big difference not
\nto have to use a backpack. Though, to do this on a basis more
\nregular than every 3 years, I’d want to do something about those knobby
\ntires, too.<\/p>\n
Riding on the W&OD was mostly pretty good, except for the areas in
\nand around towns — it’s pretty hard to get bike traffic, cyclist
\ntraffic, roller bladers (with their wide-swinging arms & legs),
\ndogs, toddlers (random and erratic trajectories) to mix on one
\ntrail. I only saw one accident — I think the toddler will
\nsurvive, and the cyclist picked himself up and passed me (again).
\nBut — far better than trying to deal with bicycle & car traffic on
\nsome of the 8-lane concrete oceans around here. It’s nice to have
\nthe trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
