My favorite way to celebrate the end of the work week is to take a bike ride. Not a long one...just a ride. It's my "happy hour." I often tell people I have an addictive personality. I'm pretty much "all in" when I decide to do something. It's a great quality to have when it comes to things like relationships, teaching, and cycling. Not so great when it comes to other things like drinking....so I just stay away from the stuff. Instead, my drug of choice, is my bike. It's really weird. No matter how tired I am at the end of a school day...strapping on my helmet and turning those pedals rejuvenates me and gets me ready for a great evening out with my wife.
So, with the kiddos gone for the weekend and date night planned for later this evening, I rode off for thirteen miles of relaxation, exercise, stress relief, and a clear head. That's my kind of happy hour.
