4.2 MILES!
Thursday, Jun 2 2005 | 0 comments
I decided to start riding my bike to work because gas is entirely too expensive, and today was my maiden voyage. I had guesstimated (as evidenced here) that it was about 2.5 miles from my front door to work.
Man, did I ever underestimate.
After making the trip this morning, I knew I was wrong. I wasn't winded, which was good (and surprising), but my legs were like jelly. Clearly, I had made a miscalculation somewhere. Divide by 17, carry the one, round off the remainder. OK, I really just referenced Google Maps.
Sure enough, it is 4.2 miles from Belmont to Peterson, on a straight shot up Western.
Regardless, it felt great and I feel like an idiot for ever driving to work.
