Training Begins
It was a nice day out today so I decided to stop procrastinating and finally start making consecutive commutes to work with my bike. It was a nice morning today with a temperature of around 45 degrees and the only thing that got cold were my knees (I know weird right?) and my fingertips. Its only about an 8 mile commute but its along busy roads the whole way. Luckily I have a shoulder to ride on most of the way except for the last mile in which I have to ride uphill in the grass. This morning’s commute took roughly 35 minutes but I know I can do it a lot faster once I can start beasting it up these two large hills I run into. I hope on the weekends once I get my touring bike, I can start doing 35-50 mile trips to help condition myself for my transcontinental journey.

Hey,
It isn’t weird at all about your knees. It is often that I wear just knee warmers because if I don’t and they get even slightly cold they ache for a little while after the ride.
Good luck with you commuting. I look forward to your stories.

I think there’s nothing wrong with people, who say whatever they want. It’s just there way of communication, I think

You have to revise your opinion. Repeating this nuttery misses your point. Give us proofs. Not just with words, but with deeds.
