Days are getting longer

It was really difficult thinking about the bike ride to work this morning.  It was dark and raining.  I'm just getting too old to commute by bike in poor weather.  I just rather ride my gas guzzling suv, my bad.  However, I mustered enough motivation to get going and get myself in by bike.  By the time I got to work, I was soaking wet.  I was not looking forward to the ride home and putting my wet clothes back on, yuk.

When it was time to commute home, the weather changed for the better.  Not only that, I'm noticing the days are getting longer!  Sunlight!   My mood really changed going home.  I felt great!  I love biking in good weather.  Funny why that is.

The photo is of the Lions Gate Bridge.  After riding through the downtown core, then through Stanley Park, I cross the bridge to the North Shore on the way home.  It's a good ride and what a view.

It doesn't seem more than a week ago, that it was still dark commuting home.

With the Olympics still on, many people are biking now.  Amazingly, the traffic is really light all day.

It's half way of 3 weeks of riding. Another week and half and the Olympics will be over and many roads re-opened and I can drive again.

The bridge is quite a climb every day.  I feel my legs getting stronger and my cardio getting a little better. or maybe, it's just the sunshine.
