YAY!!!!  Today I rode my bike to work.  Not that that is any big achievement, I did it for most of last year when the weather was decent...however...this time I made the 12 mile trip in about 40 minutes on a commuter/hybrid bike and my butt BONES were sore (not my butt....but the BONES were sore) because I lost my padding!  Now, going home will be a whole other story as the ride home is uphill and usually takes me about 1-1 1/2 hours depending on traffic.  I also have to take a different route due to traffic so it is more like 15 miles.
But anyways.....what I really wanted to share was how wonderful a ride it was.  45 degrees, so not warm enough to really get a stink going, and as I came over the crest of the Dixie Highway Hill; at the highest point above downtown Cincinnati in NKY, the sun was beginning to rise in front of me over the horizon and the pinks, and blues, and grays and purples and yellows were AMAZING!  How many of you really look at that while you are driving????  Huh?  Coming down that hill with the city skyline, and the sunrise and the crisp morning air....there is nothing more exhilarating and more peaceful to me in the WORLD! 

I am officially at my lowest bike riding weight EVER and I know I need to get more gear cause I am feeling how wonderful it is to oxygenate less fat and breath better without carrying the weight!
YEE HAH!!!!
