Talk about a good hit of adrenaline...
I went to class today fully intending to be nice and early, when I realized I had left the hosue without a bike lock.
Oops.
So I called Justin, who wasn't home... I normally stash my bike at his place on residence if I ever do just this... if I don't feel like stashing it in some weird place in some bushes at an incessable part of a building (which I didn't today).
I ended up biking for 10 minutes around campus dialing people's numbers on my cell, at least those whom I'm familiar with who don't have that class. As no one was free, I really was lost on what I was going to do.
So I decided to go for a bike ride. I found myself on the canal eventually and biked down to the locks, then down the Ottawa River... it's gorgeous out there, especially when the sun is setting.
There's a neat island out there with nice small fields and a great view, but I didn't stay. There were two bikes off through some bushes and two people lying there in the grass, so I figured I might as well give them some privacy. I'd like the same done for me if I were in their shoes, after all.
I biked up and down through downtown for fun... rush hour being... not very rushed at all here in Ottawa. I did, however, see a girl driving a riced Honda Civic, which is something you don't see every day.
I'm probably a little filthier than usual what with all the car exhaust downtown though.
So here I am, an hour and a half after I originally set out. Quite happy, and quite fulfilled. I have to do this more often... I think I'll take my camera down to the river soon as the trees start changing colours.
Now for a shower.
