Today I feel a little invincible… kind of like Rocky on his first movie after going up the stairs in Philadelphia… I attained my goal to ride in normal Atlanta traffic from work to my home in about 1:20. I’m still in one piece and tomorrow morning I will ride back to pick up my car.
I’ve been unable to ride since last week due to rain and a wave of polar temperatures that made my weekend ride impossible. I finally bought some “ski” clothes (they looked the same as bike jerseys and their price was up there too), a balaclava (isn’t that like the greek pastry?) and a bright yellow fleece vest… where I left them? Of course inside my car at work…. so tomorrow morning I will have to fight 40’s and 50’s to get to work with my regular bike clothes and a wind breaker. I’m pretty sure I’ll be up to the right body temperature within the 1st mile out of my home. Wish me luck!
