Back on the bike

I was able to get about of bed before six this morning, thanks to Sugarfoot standing on my back and meowing loudly. I decided it would be a perfect opportunity to get back into riding my bike part of the way to campus.

I got out of the habit because it was getting to be difficult to find a bus stop that was outside of walking distance from the house and not closed due to light rail construction. The construction is now so extensive that any sensible route I might take to campus is significantly affected by it. Today, however, I found a stop that is just over half a mile from the house - just enough distance to get my blood flowing and wake me up. Hopefully, the bus stop will remain open for a while. But it'll probably get moved next week without notice, knowing how Valley Metro operates.

When I arrived at campus, I was alert and awake. I didn't need caffeine for the first hour of work. I even went for a short ride after work. Aside from the SUVs driving in the bike lanes, it went pretty well.

I even got some music in today:

1. Clor: Clor
2. Dangerdoom: The Mouse and the Mask
3. Wooden Wand: Harem of the Sundrum and the Witness Figg
4. Joanna Newsom: The Milk-Eyed Mender
5. Primal Scream: Screamadelica
6. The Avalanches: Since I Left You
