First Ride of the Year - Feb 18th

New job, new location, new starting point for routes.  Just moving a couple miles would change a whole lot right?  What if it adds 10 extra minutes during your favorite lunch-time ride?  It is killer. 

I moved from 50th and May to 63rd and Western.  A measily 3 miles North and East.  I already found my route to Hefner.  The general jist is below.  I detoured a little from the map shown but I definitely followed Grand to get to the lake. 


So what did I learn after not peddling since my charity bike ride?  Remember water and food ALWAYS tastes better after a bike ride. 

NONE of the water fountains were turned on at Lake Hefner on February 18th.  Which normally doesn't matter.  Except I forgot to fill my water bottle before taking off.  Lesson learned. 

I rushed back to the office and lunch was AMAZING!  I don't remember what it was because it was a month ago, but I just remember the flavors were so rich.  I attribute this to my enjoyment of the long missed saddle. 

Cheers,
