mellowtiggerThat would be an interesting name for a blog, wouldn't it?
We went from 38C/100F last week on Tuesday to 10C/50F just a few days later. In temperature that cool, I had to wear a jacket to keep warm during the ride-generated wind. Even so, the cold air pushing into my face made my eyes water a lot. We had 3 days like that, where I was crying as I rode to work.
I used MapQuest.com to map out my usual bike path, and it works out to 13.3km/8.27mi each way. So I ride about 133km/82.7mi each week, counting the trip to and from work 5 days a week.
I started commuting by bicycle on June 1st. I've already lost 4.3kg/9.5# in weight during these 2.5 weeks. Not bad. I'm still waiting for the muscle buildup that will make the trip easier. It hasn't happened yet, it seems.
Nevertheless, I think I'm going to order a home delivered pizza tonight as a reward. Yum. :)
