Adventure LIV
Type of Adventure: Peddle Commute
Date of Adventure: 5 July 2009
Place of Adventure: Rutland Area
Length of Adventure, miles: 6/6
Length of Adventure, hours: 35 min!!!!/31 min????
Weather: Sunny, windy, no rain, temps in low 60's/sunny, light breeze, no rain, temps in 70's
Companion(s): None
Other Adventurers Encountered: Other cyclists and pedestrians
Notes of Interest: 1. I know for sure I made the morning ride in 35 minutes. I'm very excited about this. I have no idea how I made the afternoon ride in 31 minutes. I usually peddle more slowly on the way home. Either I looked at my clock wrong when I started, I peddled faster than I thought, there's slightly more downhill on the way home than on the way to work, or all of the above. 2. I seriously need a new, more comfortable bike seat. And a new water bottle.
