Ocean Ave

So I got home from work today at a reasonable hour (despite my shitty ass day there) and decided to get my bike out of the basement and ride since it was like 65 degrees and still light out. So I rode down Ocean Ave... and wow.. I felt like I was in a movie. Because everyone was out and about.... walking on the boardwalk, rollerblading, biking, walking the dog... whatever. Kids were at the playgrounds. The angry high school kids were on the beach in their little cliques... it was just all so picturesque. And I loved it!!

I rode like 10 miles and then it started getting dark (and I started getting hungry).

Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to ride to work. I'm SUPER nervous about it though. Especially since I need air in my tired. Hmph. That and I have to bring a change of clothes and my lunch and then just my wallet and stuff... and I've never ridden whith a bag before. I'm sure I can do it... but ya know... it's just that whole fear of the unknown thing.

So I'm gonna try to leave here by like 7:15ish. That gives me an hour and 15 minutes to go 8 miles (and considering I did 10 in under 50 minutes tonight I should be ok).

Aight... time to take a shower because I'm SMELLY!
