My first commute

202 pounds....

Nothing like a Mother's Day Brunch at Libby Montana's to make you put the weight back on.

Today was my first commuter bike ride. I threw the bike in the van this morning and then rode it home from work.

I started out by seeing this guy. I waved and so did he. I'm not sure if he remembered who I am or not. He should since I'm so famous and all. Saw some wild animals along the way.

Some traffic.

Man with traffic like that I see why you'd want to commute by bike.

I only took a photo when I was at a stop light and it turned out to be light on the traffic side.

There was a few spots with 1 laned construction, which is dicey. Then after the wild animals, there was some pretty heavy traffic switching from the connector to the street.

Next time, I'll try to get some of those. I was just in a hurry to get home to see how long it would take on a normal day with some medium to hard effort.

No need for the extra pictures, we'd perfer you getting that good workout......so no pitstops for extras pictures for us.

Yeah, good point. Pedaling to keep up with traffic and missing all the HUGE potholes is a pretty good workout.
