Bike Path

I was inspired by a classmate to go on bike rides more often. My original plan was to wake up early and go for a bike ride and catch the sunrise this morning. However, I accidently set my alarm clock for 6pm instead of 6am. Hmmm, maybe that was a subconscious thing? =P After waking up around 8:30, decided I should still go and get some exercise. There's a bike path along the river, the same one I took to the city, which is pretty nice. (I cut out the freeway in the pic, which is to the right of the path) This time I decided to go South instead of north. You'd think it'd be hard to get lost following a river, but actually different parts of the water all look the same! ..really!! and it's hard to tell which bridge is what. In anycase, I missed the overpass to cross the freeway on the way home and ended up going about half-way to the city before realising it. Must've got lost in my thoughts. Only noticed when I saw the golf course on the other side of the freeway, which is maybe a 15-20min bike ride past where I wanted to be? Ah well, gave me more exercise. =)

It was a nice ride, the sky was clear but not too hot. Passed by some friendly people, who would either smile back or say hi or goodmorning. Funny how such a simple thing can brighten someone's day. I should do this more often. Start the day off right with some good quality fresh air, exercise, and quiet time. If only I could wake up on time...
