Achievement Unlocked: Bicycle Commuter!
Yesterday I survived my first ever rides to and from work on Tiffany. I spent some time working out a route that would avoid major roads and traffic. In the morning, I ended up cutting through Redfern to get to the Bourke Street Cycleway. Man, that thing is NICE! Separated bike lane all the way to work. Then in the evening, I cut across the CBD to meet up with the Snook and ride home via Darling Harbour. The worst part was the three blocks on Park Street between Elizabeth and George. I ended up getting off and just walking through that bit. (Too many pedestrians; too much traffic.) Both routes ended up being about 5K, so I did 10K total for the day. And I did a Spudds class too at lunch! FIT KRIS IS FIT.

@chenchaoyi0333 I got tempted with a better offer from another former MA person. 🙂
@chenchaoyi0333 It’s working out that way! 🙂
@brown_note Thanks. I’m old school like that! 🙂
@the_snook And nowhere for cyclists to ride there either.
Actually exclaimed “OH MY GOD” when I saw coworker’s desktop with, like, 200 icons on it. “You do know what a filesystem is, right?”
