Day Four: Four Gold Stars Today!

Today was the best riding day of the week. Morning commute is going nicely with extra minutes to spare although it has been chilly and am becoming less enthused about the 4:50 A.M alarm. I chose an alternate route home today, costing an extra 5 miles, 4 monster hills, and about a dozen free range cow farms- but SO worth it for the extra quiet and zen of the country road. Today's greatest accomplishment was naviagting a new route using a satellite map and using landmarks to help stay on course.
Yesterday, as you see by the pictures, I managed to fit in my first official happy hour as a commuter! As you can see (from bottom to top) I had to fix my broken chain upon exiting the establishment- which was quite messy. And I would advise all you children reading this, drinking and riding is NEVER a good idea, especially when clipped in. But the good news is, I arrived safely.
Total Numbers for the week:
Total Miles- 67.1
Total time on Bike: 4 hours, 39 minutes
Total Happy Hours: 1
Total Bike Issues: 1 (chain fell off)
Best Moment: realizing I saw both the sun rise and set while on my bike- long day but very cool.
Concerns: 30% chance of rain tomorrow and very tired.
Today's Reward: Eggplant Parm and Red Wine

Cheers to the Four Gold Stars and 34solo Challenge!
