Ride To Work Day!

So today is National Ride To Work Day so I just had to ride to work! I didn't go to track last night so I knew that my back would be OK (hah!) before setting out for this mornings ride.

I firstly headed into Fed Sq for the free brekky being put on by Bicycle Vic and The Farmers Federation and ran into a few forumers and then I headed off to the community breakfast being held near my work. The one near my work was great last year and just as good this year. When you arrive you register and get a raffle ticket and every 10 mins or so they did a raffle of a half dozen or so prizes ranging from bike lights to bike computers to Camlebaks! I had a lucky ticket and had the choice between a bike computer and a voucher so I took the voucher - $20 thank you very much! They also had free espresso coffee and lots of fresh foods from Bakers Delight and they were even giving away whole loaves of bread!

While I was standing around at Fed Sq I had a bit of discomfort in my back and could feel it tightening up which wasn't good. Once I got to work and had showered and dressed I did my stretches and even after them my back didn't feel that great so I took a couple of nurofen plus. It has been better since taking them but its still a bit tighter than normal, but its not killing me and the sharp pains stopped. I am going to get a work friend to drive me home so I don't have to ride home with my back pack so I don't push it too far and make it really bad.

It really was great riding to work though :D
