A bike pic a day…

…keeps the doctor away? Keeps the February doldrums away?

(February 7: random tractor spotting:)

I had an idea a while ago that I would take at least one picture a day from bike rides in February. I imagined it would, on the one hand, be a way to motivate myself to ride every day even when the weather sucked (February is usually the hardest month for me I think, where it’s still grey and cold in Portland and feels like it has been forever and will still be forever) (and yes, it is possible to ride 100 miles a week without riding every day;). I also thought it would just be a fun project and add some whimsy and joy to my riding to be looking for photographable things.

But then because I don’t always think about my blog, I kinda forgot about it. BUT, then when I was riding to work on Tuesday this week it was so pretty out that I stopped to take some pictures and that sparked my memory about it all.

So, it may be February 7th already, and I probably won’t actually post a picture every day since I am just not that consistent about being on this blog, but let’s see how it goes, eh? :)

That picture above is from today. And just for good measure, here’s one from Tuesday when I remembered this whole project:)

(omg pre-sunrise magic on the Willamette River; best commute ever:)

So there you go! Maybe it will spark your whimsy and adventure in February too if you need it <3
