Wanna put your bike commute up against mine?

Bring it. About the only good thing about working 2 suburbs away is the proximity to the urban growth boundary, and all the pristine farm and forest land outside it. This ride takes a couple hours, but when you spend your days in a grey cube surrounded by grey walls, well, it rules. And it gives me a chance to practice my Spanish, talking to the horses and cows along the way. Yes, I really do that, I have no idea why, except that asking vacas about their vacaciones is funny every time. Did I mention the ride takes 2 hours?

By the way, protect my route and Save Helvetia!

    You should also ask the caballos if eating cebollas is good for their cabello.

    Also, where’d your pinkie go in the last photo?

    Ah, the imperfection of my photo display. If you click on that photo and read the caption, I explain the missing pinkie.

    And of course onions are good for their hair, why would I ask that?

    I think I recognize most of those pictures :) Are you still doing the route that we used to do together? Great idea to take pictures along the way. I’ll have to try that one of these days when I ride to work.

    Yep, still doing it, every week this summer. How’s your collar bone, are you healed up?
