In our continuing saga of Bike to Work Week, we awoke this morning to this:
A couple of inches of snow. Undaunted, I was still going to bike to work, right after my 90 minute dentist appointment for crown prep. We found out that school was delayed by 2 hours, which for kindergarten means it's cancelled because kindergarten is only 3 hours long. So there were a few more hours at home than planned, a drive to drop Max at a play date, then riding to work.
By then it had stopped snowing and was a bit warmer and more pleasant. The urban trail wasn't too muddy, I didn't get a skunk stripe up my back. Those are the good points. The bad? Man oh man does my butt hurt. After picking up Max from his play date, we hightailed it over to the bike shop and picked up a new soft, squishy, gel-filled seat for me. I'll report tomorrow on whether it helps or not.
Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warm. And it's bike to breakfast day! Yay!
Eek! Snow in May?! But you are to be commended for sticking with the bike-to-work plan. Good luck with the new seat!
