Woke up this morning, got myself a bike.

Well, today was the great test ride on getting to light rail in the morning. Left the apartment at about 0540.

Distance: 3.632 miles
Maximum Speed: 20.1 mph
Average Speed: 11.3 mph
Time: 19m, 23s

Using the Guadalupe Trail segment worked well. The trail is shaded for most of my ride (which will be a bonus riding home in the afternoon) and is level and smooth. I have bike lanes for the rest of my trip except on Almaden expressway.

I reached the light rail station in about ten minutes. I wasn't winded, felt good, and since I'll have a 20 minute break while riding the train, should have no problems getting to work in the mornings. Now I just need to double-check the schedules. There was a notice last week about schedule adjustments; hopefully, these won't affect me too much.

I will need to get up a little earlier and have everything ready to go in the mornings.

Oh, Happy Tour de France 2006!
