Yup. A protected* #BikeLane with actual physical barrier, not simply paint on the road. ๐Ÿ‘ One of the few. We need more. But that'll take a while. #Philippines

It helped me muster courage to get out of my practice zones and out on the road. The photo was taken on a Sunday morning ~9AM.

Still, today's ride was scary for me. Mainly the start and end of this road.

The fact that I'm tooting this now means that I survived my morning. ๐Ÿ™

After months of not riding my #bike, I finally got some practice again! #PracticeRide

Thanks to a new #bikebuddy and her hubby who kindly took me around campus! Yup. I wasn't just practicing at a vacant lot going in circles. I was out on the road! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Forgot to turn on my #Strava app. Only recorded the way back. So I actually did about double of what the app shows.

And I didn't take any videos. Fussing with my crappy cam setup was the last thing on my mind. ๐Ÿคช

Was thinking of doing #PracticeRide tomorrow Saturday afternoon. Hmm... ๐Ÿค”

Now what was that #weather forecast saying?

I'm at my #bike practice site and here's the sky -- clear and sunny enough.

Full disclosure: If I turn and take a photo of the opposite side of where I'm at it's actually overcast over there. You know what overcast looks like. Not taking a #picture of that. ๐Ÿคช

I kinda like* overcast, actually.

Main thing is: No rain. ๐Ÿค“ And yes, I do love* rain. But not when I want to ride my bike. ๐Ÿ˜‰

@manuelcaeiro You mean the one travelling 26kms? He'll do city #cycling (through ยฑ5 cities) with several stops and #photo shoots with some people that day. They'll end up in the campus where I do my #PracticeRide. Yeah, I guess it's like they're having a #bike "picnic" of some sort. ๐Ÿ™‚

There goes my weekend #PracticeRide. ๐Ÿšฒ Gonna be rainy, pretty sure of it. At least it's not a major storm.

I'll just do a lot of walking on Monday for my *ahem* #exercise. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ›’๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜

@aslanmane
Aha... Now that* makes better sense to me! โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿค“ Thanks!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Oh yes. Already planning my #PracticeRide. Was asking online for recommended safe places for awkward beginners. A stranger volunteered to be my buddy if I pick the one close to where she lives. I'd already go Monday morning but the helmet I ordered got delayed. ๐Ÿ™„ My first ride will have to be next Saturday. But... I got a #BikeBuddy!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™€๏ธ
