Bike Log: Week 20

All good things must come to an end...this marks the final week in my summer long mission of riding my bike to work as much as possible. Fitting that such a venture would coincide its conclusion with that of the actual summer season, as autumn officially began yesterday.

It wasn't a stellar week, but it wasn't abysmal either, as I managed to eek out 3 final days. Despite overcast skies and predicted rain, I took my chances Monday and rode my bike anyway, once again luckily missing all bouts of precipitation.

Tuesday morning was a bit chilly, but I braved the conditions, staved off frozen hands, and chose to ride that day as well, for the weathermen were right when they said it would warm up nicely in the afternoon. The return trip home was pleasantly mild and in the mid 70s.

Wednesday I rode again and the morning on this day was warmer and more forgiving than Tuesday. Thursday I opted not to ride, as the morning was back into the chilly territory. Too chilly for me this time, as the morning temps were in the low 50s and the high that day barely got above 60 degrees.

And of course, Friday I didn't ride either, for that was the day of my big surgery.

So there you have it, my final week. Uneventful like most other weeks, but a decent note to end things on nonetheless. In a week or two, I plan on posting a final log to summarize up my entire bike riding summer and reflect on all the good times and the bad. 

So for now, I guess it's back to utilizing my gas-guzzling friend as my main form of transportation again...at least until maybe next summer.
