Things that make me happy on my commute:
When the sun crests over the Cascade foot hills sooner every day this time of year
Random wildlife crossing the road
Wild turkeys in downtown Eugene
when I get on the MUP after 16 miles
Every single river crossing. The Willamette is beautiful.
Going from BFE to the middle of downtown.
Being able to eat carbs occasionally
Every time someone looks at me in awe and asks "You bike from Cottage Grove?" like I just hiked the PCT
I am pretty ADHD so when I am exhausted I finally feel like I can quit moving.
