BBW Diary - Day 5

Day 5 - Thursday

In a word... WINDY! (Not a complaint, just an observation. One should not complain when it's in the 70s and sunny.)

Ride to the office - routine.

Routine mid-afternoon exercise/recreation ride, out Hill Road, Gary/Glenwood, and back in on Adams. (Very routine route.)

Ride home - routine. Other than the wind.

My friend Aaron brought his mom's bike over - a pretty purple "cruiser" bike that had a slightly-wobbly back wheel. Got the wheel trued up nicely. Ride on, Mom!

Aaron is doing springtime prep on his bike and his mom's. He's hoping to put his car under a bird-poop-resistant cover, and do a lot of bike commuting over the warm months. (Since he's from Idaho Falls, I'm trying to convince him that all months are warm months in Boise!)

In the evening, Princess Mackie and I rode to a nearby playground, and I spent a blissful 45 minutes pushing her on the swing and merry-go-round. And she went 4 rungs on the monkey-bar without assistance - a triumphant moment! We watched the bright orange sun-ball drop behind the western horizon, then headed for home.

Finished the day with 25+ miles. (Turned over 400 miles for May.)
