I&#8217;ve been on the bike more and more since the weather has been more spring-like during the past month.

Last night on the way home I had a milestone that I could&#8217;ve done without: my first accident.

Not surprisingly, the more I bike the less there is to blog about it becuase it&#8217;s becoming routine. A couple things of note in the past couple weeks though: 1) I&#8217;ve changed my route home.

We actually had morning temps in the high 60s/low 70s and a decent breeze so the rides were pleasant. Nothing extraordinary really happened during the week.
