When I started working at Research I was asked to be part of the BTWW Team, the Research Riders.
There was a sheep on the TV....
He just did an Evil, deep voice and said, "Man of Steel."
Max and I laughed......Kent is hyper tonight....
For Mother's Day, I got a bike from Kent and the kids. Her name is LaRombashaniqua. My friend Leah at work named her. She is glorious.
I had a great bike in Kelowna, I got her in 1996. She was pretty impressive for the time. I had a great baby seat on the back for Max, Melissa would ride with me. It was a great time.
When we moved, we sold my bike. We had no room in the truck, I wasn't using it like I should've been. I was a little terrified after my friend Deb was hit while riding her bike and suffered a brain injury.
As well, in Kelowna it always seemed that I had to go uphill or downhill. I didn't love that idea.
So, this week, I went from 0-60 km in 4.5 days. I really enjoyed it--even in the Victoria drizzle, in traffic, rushing to work and having to get changed....it was really great.
Kent rode with me in the morning, Monday he rode home with me. Tonight he met me at the Johnson Street Bridge and rode with me to the celebration station at the swing bridge. We ate a burger and met friends....and tonight, I am reaping some of the benefit of my bike to work week.
Kent's love language is quality time. He loves being active, he loves being outdoors. By taking part in the BTWW--I fed a part of my husbands heart that sometimes, I have to admit, I ignore.
Either because time is an issue, or I just don't want to hike somewhere...sometimes there is just too much to do.
And now, we are off to DQ to spend some more quality time with Kent and our friends Barb and Bjarne. This impromptu date may not have happened had I not been biking and we ran into them at the swing bridge.
Life is good on a bike. I have to admit...I am going to like this biking to work.
