Day Fifty-Eight

Bike to Work Day!

This made getting my bike in easy.  I just drove over Devil's Slide (too dangerous to ride)  and rode the rest of the way into work.  That combined with a little extra detour on the way home rounded out my hour and a half.  I also thought that it was a good example to the students, but of course no one in Half Moon Bay was aware of it being bike to work day.

On my way in I was going to stop at the rest station that is set up for people riding their bikes to work.  But I chickened out.  I did not feel like I was enough of a cyclist to stop.  This is ridiculous and speaks to my insecurities.  It is ridiculous because this is a day everyone is encouraged to ride their bike, people are encouraged to get out on their bikes for the first time in years.  But my ego thought I was not enough of a cyclist to be part of it.  I do ride three days a week, but that was not enough in my mind.  I was a big chicken.
