With no handlebars.

I rode my bike to work today! After rolling around sleeplessly every night and trying desperately to arrive by 9:30 a.m. for the past few weeks, I decided last night to ride my bike to work today.

My alarm fruitlessly kept sounding at 7:15, but I rolled over and tried to snooze off like I do every morning. But this time, I actually awakened 15 minutes later and by 8:10 was out the door!

Along the way I was able to enjoy the levy and the slow-moving Delta waters before the heat started to kick in. I wasn't alone either, at least 20 other people were up running, walking and biking the levy, just like myself!


So I'm glad I was finally able to pry myself out of bed early today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy nature in the morning and get a healthy dose of exercise in.

Maybe this will continue? Should be interesting to see, especially since I'm taking a sports sociology class at 9:30 every morning for the next four weeks beginning on Monday....

I wish I could bike to work, but unfortunately it's very far and not so safe (no bike paths where I live). Must be a great way to start the day, not to mention the workout!

Gorgeous picture!
