No Broken Eggs

Did something different today. Decided to combine my daily bike ride with a trip to the grocery store. Hooked on my grocery bag size panniers and headed out around 7 a.m. knowing that the grocery store didn't open until 9. I thought I'd get a nice long ride in before going shopping. I should have saved my energy for the ride home though. I forgot that the groceries were going to add a considerable amount of weight to the bike. It took me over an hour to ride the 7 miles home! I never got out of 2nd gear and when I got home I was surprised to learn that what I was carrying weighed over 25 pounds! Happy though - didn't break one single egg and it was a great workout!
