No Big Deal

I rode my bike to work today, no big deal you say, well it was for me cause I've been thinking about doing it for a couple of years, I really wanted to start riding to work but things never fell into place until this spring, I had more reasons than the Dept. of Excuses for not doing it. This spring I just seem to have a knowing that this was the year for biking. Earlier this month, I stumbled on a new bike that being cleared out as last years model from Canadian Tire and got a great deal on it.

The ride was great, the morning was cool at -1C, the ride home a bit warmer. Princess Auto had this bright yellow safety vest for seven bucks, I want to make sure no one runs me over though I look like a "hoser". I'm using my inline skating helmet so that I can wear a thin balaclava, there was a windchill shown on the weather channel.

The route I chose takes me through Assiniboine Park, down the Wellington Ave bike trail and into down town. Park of the bike trails runs along Assiniboine River, just beautiful, an honest to goodness CAVU morning!
