Bake Shop

Today was day 1 of Bike to Work week. I usually try and bike to work when I can. I won't lie, it's not for everybody. But I love it and it's so much more relaxing than driving on 235 here in town. I headed up a effort to get more people to bike to work at CDS and I think I got a few more people thinking about it. 2 other bikes were in the rack when I arrived and I knew of two other people that park inside somewhere.



I did manage to get them to tape off additional parking in case more people than what the rack would hold decided to try it. Unfortunately on day 1 it wasn't needed. We'll see if tomorrow is any different.



I gotta laugh at the irony in this picture. Yes, that is a outdoor ashtray in the background behind the fence. On the other side is a set of picnic tables that is another popular smoke break spot.



Once free of the road I'm cruising thru Waterworks Park enjoying the sunshine.



Put some new rims on my road bike and gotta say they got a cool hum from the bladed spokes.



I had about 10 mins to kill so I spun around the park once to get some work out of the legs.



Paused for a quick second to enjoy this picturesque spot. You just can't get sites like this on the way home in a car.



Since I was a little bored I played chase my shadow down. The lil hoser kept going faster no matter how hard I pedaled.



Back in my car on the way to a Dr's appt in Grimes I had to laugh at the irony that awaited me on the 235 trying to get out there.
