musings from the pedal pusher.
Woke up at 5:00am this morning.
Ok, you’re not cranky - this is good.
Feel like a bike ride?
Sure, let’s give it a go.
On my path, I discovered that NO traffic for at least 5 minutes was heavenly and the silence while riding in a smidge of darkness was delicious.
Now, for a moment I wondered if my eyes didn’t deceive me -
my LED light caught the eye of a giant disgruntled raccoon. I apologized out loud for the intrusion and marveled at how well rounded he was - after all I’ve only seen the pancake version in passing in the middle of the road…. 
Then the traffic began. Now mind you - you’d have to pry that steering wheel from my dead cold hands despite my utter distaste for driving. I hate bicyclists - they usually hog the road and you’re always in a hurry. But man, when YOU are the one cycling - you hate motorists.
Well isn’t that the way of the world?
So I returned home and have gotten an extra early start to my day.
I’ve managed to ride the bike 3 times this week. Feeling better about it each time - but still not feeling very confident. I am particularly slightly annoyed by the old rider crotch thing despite the gel padding of the seat cover as well as the cheap gel bike shorts.
Oh well, some things I guess you’ll get used to…
