New toy

Got my bike computer yesterday. Totally awesome.

I had previously estimated that the distance to my office from home was 16 miles. It's actually 16.9 miles. So, I'm riding 33.8 miles every day I ride. I live at ~2,000 feet elevation according to a couple of topo maps I reviewed. The 2,000 foot line goes through my neighbors property. Therefore I might be 2005-2010 feet. Close enough for me. Looking at the topo for my office it appeared that the office was approximately 1370 feet. The altimeter showed 1371 when I got here, currently it reads 1388. Again, close enough for me.

Starting temp this morning 43 degrees F, 45 when I got to the office. Avg speed 14.8 mph, max speed 24.5 mph. Average grade 2%, max grade 9%. I lost approximately 630 feet from home to office. Ride time 1:08:19.

It was rainy so the bike was wet when I got to work. Left a bit of a trail on the floors and new carpets. Office manager wasn't real happy with me. So, the bossman bought a bike rack for us. It'll be installed next week. Apparently I'm an expensive employee. Well, it'll clear up my office not having a bicycle in here.

I really like my new toy/bday present!!!
