A beautiful week to bike to work

What a beautiful week to bike to work! I started the week off Monday morning with a great ride into work and then a warm and sunny bike ride home from work.  Shedding my balaclava and tights on the bike ride home and letting the sun kiss my snow white legs (I know, not a pretty picture) felt great!

Tuesday I commuted with a friend as there was heavy fog in the morning, so no bicycling. :( By afternoon the fog had cleared up and it was bright, warm and sunny.  I felt terrible not biking home.

Wednesday started out with fog, but this time I asked my friend if I could take the bike with.  He agreed, and when the work day was done there I was, biking to Platteville.  I was headed that way to pick up our car that had some work done on it.  What a ride! Warm, sunny and I was on a Trek 770 (an old Reynolds frame with the Superbe Pro groupo) which made me think of cycling in the old days when I was young, had time, and was in far better shape.

Today, I rode to work on the old Trek 770 without booties over my shoes.  It was cold on my feet, but the ride home will be great I am sure.

So far, 67 miles for the week. To all those reading this, get out and enjoy the nice weather! There should be snow on Saturday.
