Cool 90s
Topic: Cycling
There was almost a nip in the breeze as I cycled off to work this morning. It only lasted till I warmed up. It was a lovely ride. I didn't time it quite right and a bus whizzed by. I feel guilty taking up the bus/bike lane because I also ride the bus and I know how frustrating it is to be stuck behind a bike, unable to get by, when people have connections to make in order to get to work on time. If I time leaving till just after the bus goes by I get to Craycroft after the Wilmot only bus heads west from Craycroft. From Craycroft west they are running every 10 minutes but that gives me time to get to Arcadia where I head north because the bike lane runs out and Broadway gets a little narrow for my comfort.

I can go so much faster riding straight west on Broadway because the 3rd St Bikeway goes back and forth quite a bit since 3rd Street doesn't go in a straight line. It's a conspiracy to make riding bikes difficult. This bikeway jogs more than the others that I've been on.

Coming back was a little warmer but the low 90s don't seem too bad once you've accepted that it's summer in southern Arizona. I'm cycling a little faster I think. Yeah! I'm getting in shape.
