topazTthis week I discovered a free commuter parking lot in west Arlington. Bonus! Free parking, no grumpy notes left on my windshield from neighborhood residents, a couple extra miles biking each day.
Then I discovered, on Thursday evening, after leaving work late and stopping by Flat Top Johnny's for a beer with the co-workers, that the sign which says "parking 7:30am-6:30pm" really means "parking until 6:30pm, at which time the lot is locked behind a chain-link gate and big heavy chains." So I called my parents and got them to pick me up in Lexington -- an extra four miles or so of riding. Then the next day I rode from our house all the way to Arlington to pick up the car.
Mileage this week:
| Tuesday | 6.0 | 6.0 | |
| Wednesday | 8.5 | 8.5 | |
| Thursday | 8.5 | 12.0 | |
| Friday | 20.8 | 5.5 | |
| Total | 43.8 | 32.0 | 75.8 |
I seem to have found the limit of how much biking I can comfortably do in a week -- I'm still nursing my sore muscles. The funny thing is that I'm not accustomed to thinking of any of these days as a really long day of riding, and I've ridden 65 miles in a day before. Apparently when you're doing it every day it really does build up.
