Was able to commute in by bike every day this week, which made me a happy rider.

The Carpocalypse is approaching quickly… should be interesting to see how that all turns out. They added another train to ease the overcrowding that already exists (and is certain to worsen during the construction), which was a long time coming.

Speaking of the train, I may’ve become someone’s nemesis. Long story short, they’re apparently just angry and bitter with everything/everyone, but it’s made for some good laughs (for me, at least) watching them get all enraged about my bike being on the train.

Thursday we rode all the way back, though had a slight detour thanks to a manhunt going on in the vicinity of our beloved hill. Hit up a preferred watering hole once we got into town, which was quite possibly the best idea ever.

Yesterday morning we rode all the way in, with an unexpected bit of drizzle to start things off. Otherwise a fairly uneventful ride beyond the usual chat. In the locker room, a fellow commuter came in a little while after us and told us a great story about a little sprint they had with a small dog. Apparently, while riding the trail, this dog saw him coming and took off ahead of him… and ended up with our friend trying to overtake the dog in order to ease its likely fears that he was chasing it, which required him to put the hammer down and crank out a good 23+ pace to pass it… and then keep it up in order to outrun the poor dog, which kept running after him.

The ride home was intentionally lazy, as I wanted to enjoy the sun and mellow out a bit after work.
