Today I had a home visit to run in South Sacramento so I zipped down there after dropping the boys off at daycare. I rode my Linus because she's lovely and fun (and because I had neglected to charge the electric bike). On my way down, I realized that I had forgotten that Big Brother had swim class that evening. Jose had decided to take the day off today because he had had to "work" on Father's Day (by day off I mean finally get some peace and quiet away from the craziness of our monsters. I fully support days off for both of us).
I got back home eventually, did a teeny weeny bit of work before I fell asleep for 30 minutes. Then, it was back in the saddle (the Bullitt's saddle to be exact) to get the boys and take them both to swim class. Big Brother is having a blast learning how to swim and has already almost mastered the whole not-breathing-under-water thing. I think we're going to have to go a few more rounds and add Little Brother into the mix. There are kids smaller than both of them swimming on their own already! It's a really good thing I can bike there or I don't know that I'd go through with it.
On our way home, the boys were exhausted and I'd wished I had brought more snacks. We took the American River Parkway home and saw a rabbit, geese with their babies, and lots of bikers out on this lovely solstice evening. We got home, ate, and I put the boys to bed. Now, two hours later, I still have one big Jack-in-the-box child. I'm officially calling today over. Three and a half hours of riding and still ending up in my own home isn't as fun as the same distance heading out on a bike overnight. I think it's time to squeeze

One bonus of the day was that I finally got around to raising the seat of the Bullitt again. Jose had ridden it and has been lowering it (even though we never have to change any of the bikes between the two of us). He just feels more comfortable with a flatter foot and I like the seat way high. I realized that I've been riding with the low seat too long and it's been hurting my back. I'm glad I made the change because even with the longer day than usual, my back is feeling fine. I'm glad I caught on to one of my back's triggers and I'll be sure to be more careful about making sure my bike fits me before I head out.
