Half Day Friday's are Back !

Half day Friday is back until Thanksgiving when business gets crazy again. So today the temp was a nice 63 degrees and it was time for my first ride home from work this year. The fun part is the hills start almost right after I start peddling, so no time to get the legs warmed up. So it was a good little suffer fest until I got loose and the legs agreed to play. I guess it's just taking longer to get the engine going as I get older, but I'm still having a ton of fun even though I'm slower. Oh ya I then pull a bonehead move and take my eyes off the road for a bit and almost go down. Thank goodness I still have cat like reflexes .

Gotta love those half day Fridays! What a great excuse to go for a bike ride. The quiet part of your commute sure looks nice through the small little town but going along that 2 lane highway with narrow shoulders gives me the heebies. Stay safe!

Can't complain about having half day Friday's, and yes a great excuse for a ride. I stayed on some nice back roads, and only went on what I call the raceway for a couple hundred yards.
