Tempus Fugit

It’s Day 4 of the Commuter Challenge, and I wimped out on riding to work on the bike. I used the excuse that I needed to get to a client meeting at 9am as the excuse, but the truth was that it was raining pretty hard at 7:30 am and I just didn’t want to deal with it.

It may be raining tomorrow, I hope not, I need another riding day this week.

It’s faster that going to dictionary.com and more fun too, except for the extra time you spend chasing random links that show up from your misteak.

Day 3 of the Commuter Challenge and just another day of bike commuting to work but a wetter ride than usual. The forecast was for rain but it was still dry after I finished my dental appointment at 11 so I took the bike.
I knew it was likely and sure enough the ride home was in a steady downpour. I even got the big splash from a passing car. Not that it made any difference at that point because I was completely soaked! (update)

Today is the first day of the Commuter Challenge for 2007 where you’re encouraged to commute using sustainable transportation, like a bike.
After dropping Shirley off at the airport at 6:30am I biked to work. I enjoyed passing all the traffic in the construction zones which are everywhere in Winnipeg ( two seasons, winter and construction).
Bike commuting does have it’s challenges. I was greeted with a flat tire when I picked up my bike for the ride home. This was the first ever while commuting. Time to stock up on tubes & patch a few.
