It was awesome!
I submitted a little vignette to a competition for our corporate Green Team! I layed on the cheese about braving carbon-spewing traffic and iceshelf-melting heat, but did not come across as an angry young treehugger, just spoke of how I say goodbye to G then arrive at the office refreshed then ride home and hug G. I know how these competitions work. I even included the photo of me in my reflective suit, drunk from a work happy hour.
I left the Prius at home and drove the truck for a questionable oil change , to be ready for our road trip to Mexico where there are paint chips in the air and overfishing in the sea.
Then I drove to Somo to ride my bike. I cleaned damn near everything climbing up to BV, even the whole Upper Waterfall. I expended great amounts of power and probably contributed to global warming. Skidded my tires a lot too.
And I fixed a mysterious creak in the Heckler by servicing the headset, bathing everything in grease. The online videos from Cane Creek are quite helpful.
I recycled my beer can.
Wait, I did not have time for a beer.
