Excuses to go for bike ride

Sometimes I need a good excuse to ride my bike.  Today it was because I had to drop off  DVDs to friend.  I procrastinate when I return things sometimes.  It was nice day though, despite the strong bitterly cold winds going home.

Before going, I left my old hiking shoes on street to see if someone would take them.  Besides a hole or too inside, the shoes are in good shape..the soles are not worn out like they usually are.  I found that they hurt my arches ever since I bought them.  When I returned home, I ended up ditching them into the dumpster as I thought that was a stupid idea.  :)

It was a nice day to get out on bike, despite cold cold winds.  I biked near the house I first lived in, so swung by and took a pic of my tree.  Dad planted that when I was born so long ago.  Freshly pruned, but holding up after all these years.

This is bike path that I take a lot in the Summer when I go grocery shopping.  I have a choice of 2 bike trails from store, would you believe?  This city lacks them.  Still cold outside, snow is gone, but no leaves on tree yet.  Grass is just turning green.
