Day 9-Short and Sweet (5 miles solo)

4/9/2012

2 Comments

 
Just like the ride, today's post is going to be short and sweet. Today was the one day of sun for a week of forecasted rain but instead of a ride with the kids, the kids decided to sleep all day. Not a bad thing. We've been going and going and going so it was good for them to have a day in. Once Jose got home, however, I took advantage of the respite and hopped on the Yuba to make a quick Target run. Blasting Michael Franti and Spearhead on the Acouztic and enjoying some me time, we did a 5-mile roundtrip. My milk crate rack is my new best friend. It's like the junk drawer on my bike right now. 

Other fantastic news: since I still haven't been able to find the Yepp Mini keys, I decided to track down the company--Gazelle Cycle Imports. A quick email and phone call and within an hour or so, a new set of keys was in the mail. How fantastic! I am hoping that they come in time to take off the seat for our big trip but if not, at least I know that I can rest a sandwich on the empty Yepp Mini and stuff my face as I ride. Bonus! Thank you, Lindsay!

I've been getting some lovely messages from lovely bicyclists these days. Keep 'em coming! I love hearing what you guys are up to, too. Thank you for all the support and questions and ideas. They say that it takes 30 days of repetitive actions to form a habit. This bicycling thing is quickly becoming habitual for us. Each day I walk out the back door instead of the front, I am creating a healthier habit for myself, my family, and the environment. It makes me feel stronger every time I push through a difficult ride, both in my body and in my convictions. I really like that feeling and I hope to help others get there too.

It's a small world when I posted a video on YouTube the morning of the day that you wrote this, with a Franti soundtrack...it's like you read my mind. lol

Great video and song! We were just rocking out to that song :) We love the Acouztic--and it's an amazing light. I actually feel comfortable riding at night with it (but not the kids, yet). I want to do some more videos. My dad has a Go Pro (I think) that I want to borrow and get some shots of the boys' perspectives.
