Even though I live two or three miles from several trailheads, I like to spend as much time running on dirt as possible. Running from the house with all the stop signs and traffic sucks, and driving to the trailhead has a major downfall- Parking!!! Spending 25 minutes before work looking for a place to park is a bitch!
This is where my new bike comes in. I bought a sweet, affordable, durable commuter bike that I just rode up to the Thurman gate at the entrance to Leif Erikson road: a great warm up for the run. I locked it up to the gate, threw my backpack with the snacks into some bushes and I was off up Wild Cherry trail to Wildwood. Easy Breezy! I threw some breakfast items into my basket on the way home for a meal and had a shower before I was off to work. Also, parking is a breeze with a bike!
I HATE PARKING!!!
