Cycling this week - 04-07-2012

Well this past week I managed to commute two days on the bike, Wednesday and Thursday for another 30 miles.  Irit got back out on the bike this weekend after not riding since February 25th.  Again, she blew off yoga to go ride a bike - I'm just saying - one sport you get the wind in your face, scenery, adventure, smells, nature, the other sport, you get to sit on the floor in a room, also with smells from a different kind of nature (just kidding). So, we rode over to the Santa Fe dam and up the river trail, through Duarte, Monrovia, Arcadia, Temple City and finally back home to San Gabriel.  25 miles in total.  We dropped in on my oldest daughter Lauren unannounced, which is always fun, while we were going through Monrovia.  It was a beautiful day, in the low 80's (F).  Since Irit had no ill effects from the ride, next week, she gets to do more.

Here you can see Irit trying to catch some flies - she gets hungry while out on the bike.


Irit seems very happy with her new Giro Atmos helmet, of course it is purple and has little flowers on it.


Stopped on the side of the trail with the San Gabriel mountains in the background.


I had to wear my skater helmet since I rode the commuter bike.  And no spandex is allowed on the commuter bike either.
