Spring has sprung here in Arizona, and the weather cannot be more glorious.  I celebrated by riding my bike to work today.  I dearly wish I could ride every day, but right now it’s just not in the cards.  I LOVE being on my bike!  It is the closest thing to flying that I know.

Here are some of the things I see on my ride to work:

• A duck pond.
• A golf course.
• A frisbee golf course.
• More ponds and golf courses.
• Tempe Town Lake.

Tempe Town Lake

That’s the first 6 miles, and then I actually have to start biking on the streets where I pass:

• A milk factory.
• A bakery where they bake those rolls that we always have at Thankgiving and they smell SO GOOD!
• My ex-boyfriend’s ex-apartment.
• An unincorporated town where I once saw an actual live elephant just kind of standing around in a parking lot.
• The hill of doom, which becomes the 30mph hill of reckless abandon on the ride home.
• My office.

The bike path

So I biked 26 miles total today.  And it wasn’t so bad really, coming home was a breeze.  I just feel like I’m continuing the theme of doing things with ease.  I mean, I was taking pictures with my camera while my bicycle was IN MOTION!!!  Sheer CRAZINESS!!!  I want more of this in my life.
