Life is a breeze when you can go 7 miles without pedaling. I see people going into downtown Denver in the morning using the Cherry Creek path and they seem to be going super fast. Now I know, they just don’t have to work much to get a good 15mph. I think I may have pushed for about five minutes during this 37 minute ride and that was at about 60 percent.
Event though it’s not much work, this is still the best part of my day and probably the only time that I’ll get to focus on myself and not the family and job responsibilities. Just me. A man and his bike. I probably have a few months left of beautiful weather and simple commutes before moving to the harsh cold winter where I’m forced to layer up and push myself to commute regardless of the frigid temps. Until that happens, however, I’m going to fully enjoy days like today.
