Got back on the bike this morning to ride to work. Trying to keep as green as I can be while getting some much needed exercise, a win win. It’s about nine or ten miles each way with 90% of it straight down Las Vegas Blvd. I have to say it’s a pretty fun ride at 6:30 am. The buzz consists of hotel maintenance crews, construction crews, dedicated walking/jogging tourists, zombie-like wanderers looking as if they don’t know how to get back to their hotel rooms after a long night of partying and of course the homeless. Not much traffic at this hour so there are many times I have all lanes to myself to ride right down the middle. Much different from the ride home I’m assuming (today will be my first ride home after work).
This morning I got detoured by a train so I took a frontage road where a lot of the strip clubs are. Pretty desolate and a lot of litter. I connected back to the blvd. at Dessert Inn but it’s always fun exploring little backstreets you’ve never been on before.
I’ve been listening to the Chains album by Small Black while I ride. When I first started biking to work I listened to the crap out of Delorean.
