Commute

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

It was dark out this morning. There was a big nasty thunderstorm off in the distance, but I figured I could make it in before all hell broke loose.

About 2 miles into my ride, I realized I forgot my shower stuff, so I went back for it. The big thunderstorm let loose about a half mile from the office, so I got soaked.

I need to figure out a way to rig a surreptitious clothesline in my cubicle to dry my stuff out. I hate crawling into wet, nasty clothes for the ride home.

I rode the Karate Monkey in to work today. This is the first time I’ve ever commuted on it. It doesn’t have any racks, so I just threw all my junk in the saddlebag.

I put Ergon Grips on the handlebars, and now I actually like my flat bars

Penns Creek Path

Trail Scene

Penns Creek Path is a little leftover chunk of logging railroad from the 1800’s. It’s only 3 miles long, but you get to go through a spooky old tunnel.

We saw a rattlesnake too!
