for the first time in my life, and that was without my new HyperDunkz!

So I got roped into playing b’ball with my colleagues. Actually, so far it is turning out to be some really good x-training. All those lateral moves are just what my body needs to address weaknesses that are inherent when your legs always just go round and round on the bike in the same motion.
well, technically I have ridden over there a couple of times exploring the best possible route. However, this was the first time I actually rode on a work day as means of getting to work. The weather warmed to unseasonal temperatures over the week-end (like 60+ F) and melted all the snow we had, so that meant the roads were pretty dry and mostly ice free. It was a little strange as today felt more fall like with snow remnants only in the places where there were particularly high snow banks. It sort of feels like I have gone through some time warp back to early November.

It has been windy though, and today was no exception as I had my nose into a pretty fierce gale all the way into the office. The outlook is good for the rest of the week, so I expect I will be able to repeat on Wednesday as well. Especially since they will call it an early day for us around 2pm. I may even take the opportunity to stretch out the ride on the way home and get in some much needed miles!
