Thursday was commute #2. It was raining hard as I got ready to leave but eased off by the time I started to ride. The roads were quiet – I was out the door by 6:50am and was at work just after 7am.
Overall it was a good wee ride.
The ride home was also OK. It was busy – building up to peak time, and it was warm. I decided to ride through Central Park, up the central asphalt path. I stopped toward the top but was happy with my progress. 28 minutes again, but I know this will get faster.
Emerging from the park opposite the Malaysian Embassy, the path to the intersection with Owhiro Road wasn’t very steep at all – which surprised me.
I feel I’m getting closer to being able to ride up the hill on the road.
