I've been fighting a nasty little virus the past 5 days, so as the weather warmed up this weekend, Papa headed outside and left me at home - major bummer. He rode about 3 hours on Saturday enjoying 60+ degree weather, some of it with his buddy Jeremy, and I was stuck indoors. NOT FAIR! I think he rode about 52 miles, which certainly isn't record pace, but it's not so bad for an old guy. I can't wait to get better and join him!
Papa also biked to work on Monday - go PAPA! It's about 14 miles each way, mostly uphill going to work. It takes about 10 minutes longer going to work than it does coming home. Papa claims it's because of the hills, but I think it's because he's excited to see me and can't wait to get home. He carries a bunch of stuff (clothing, computer, etc.) so he's no Speed Racer. Nonetheless, he's conserving natural resources and getting 2 good workouts. I think he has a goal of riding to work 5 days in a week sometime this season, but the weather and his travel schedule are going to have to permit such a feat. This week, it looks like 2 commutes or 56 miles on the bike - let's see if he get's up in time tomorrow!
