Biking Commuting 32:23 13.96 km (2:19 / km) +38m 2:17 / km
ahr:137 max:154 shoes: All-City Space Horse
Home to TPC
6:40 AM; Hamline Midway/Como Park
-2.2 °C; Cloudy
Colder morning. As expected, the wind had dried out most puddles and only few remained, posing no danger. There is always a big one at the BNSF intermodal yard on Pierce Butler. When traffic is not too thick, it's easy enough to avoid. since I was later than usual, there was a more car and truck traffic but surprisingly few bikes. The bike garage and TPC was rather empty but I encountered a few cyclists arriving, probably also because I was later. All day LEAN training today, not sure what to expect but I will need some movement to stay awake.

Colder than I expected for the ride home. Since I was riding into the wind, I opted for S St. Anthony. Friendly riders greeting me (there were only few out) and friendly drivers ceding their right of way. I actually prefer if they drive when they should. One car, a few car lengths ahead of me stopped to let me ride across his right turn at N bound exit from Pierce Butler to Snelling.

4:24 PM; Hamline Midway/Frogtown
-0.8 °C; Cloudy
James fed the dogs, so we got going without delay. Roux is even more motivated to get going with the colder weather.As soon as they are set free, he attacks poor old Mellie who has to make the 5 kg she has over Roux count. she can hold her own but all Roux wants, is a reaction from her. She generally humors him by taking up a short pursuit but she can't keep up with the little devil and stop to smell the roses--or rather garbage. At Hamlin, there was a gaggle of girls walking towards us, one of them on one of those knee carts. I kept Roux short, because he has a strong reaction to small wheeled devices and the UPS truck. He surged towards the girls, which elicited squeals and giggles but I was prepared. Later, he did the same to the UPS truck, a block away from home. The UPS guy knows us and gave us a wave.
