Sun is Out! Bike is Fixed!

WooooHooo!  

The day here today is BEAUTIFUL!  

The Sun is out, the Wind is gone, and it is around 50 degrees.  My thermometer (which isn't too accurate because it is in the sun, suction cupped to the outside of my door,  AND was only 1 euro) actually says 75 degrees F!  Just Wonderful!

I also picked up my bike today.  It had been damaged in the container during the move.  When I took it in, the guys at the store (2 of which spoke English pretty well) asked me if I was ok.  I had to explain that I wasn't on it when it happened - not sure they really understood.  Maybe they just thought I was tough!!


After picking up my bike, I chose to ride it home on the safer,  Non-Main street.  Of course, it is UPHILL all the way to my house, with 2 very steep ones and then our driveway.  Since I haven't ridden in a couple months (or ever!) they were hard!  But, I managed to stay on the bike and not stop the whole way!  This may not seem like much, but for me it was a lot!  I did end up sweating like crazy though - since it was such a nice day!  And my legs do burn!  But, since the weather is as close to Colorado as I'm probably going to get, it was all worth it!  And, now I can get to school more quickly (maybe) until the snow comes.   I'll just have to look for a way to go & come back ALL downhill.  Is that even possible?!?

Now, off to finish my insurance claim forms for the movers.
