It's been a pretty quiet week on the trail. I haven't had any close calls with kids, cars or wildlife. The kids in Moscow started school today, so the roads were a bit more crowded. However, there were lots of folks walking and biking to school too. It was a cool morning, and it felt a little like autumn.
On Monday, I met a colleague on the trail. We had agreed to meet beforehand so that we could talk about some joint projects. She's an avid bike commuter as well. The trail seemed like the ideal place in which to get some work done.
The commuter bus community was also like this. I met many colleagues and friends on the bus, and we talked business, family, community and everything in between. Students, faculty and staff all interacted with each other on the bus. There was a lot of social and professional networking. It was a great community that really enriched our lives and the life of our greater Moscow-Pullman area.
Great blog, Tom! And very good to see you are still an avid biker!
ReplyDeleteAurelia is now old enough to bike around town with me, and once in a while I bike her to school and then continue on to work, through the Washington DC mall area and into downtown. I don't like all the hectic traffic and hazards, but Washington is making a big effort to make the city more biker-friendly, including with new bike lanes, so maybe I should help them out by starting a blog like this!
Are you going to continue riding through the winter out there?
Best,
Dylan
