Less than one week until school begins for
this fall semester. Because I am continuing to work a midnight shift at the
hospital, this semester is going to be difficult. I'd love to load up a full
12+ hours and burn through the remaining courses I need to move forward,
however, I would then have zero hours to sleep during the day before having to
work a full night. Resilience and motivation to build myself further is what
will be getting me through the end of this year. That and the strong woman I
have been with for over a year.
The past year, Megan has been talking about
getting bicycles on which to ride the town. When she was still living on West
End and Blakemore there were so many awesome places to where we could have
biked. Our rides to cool places from our new location will just be a bit longer
with faster traffic.
Yesterday, we finally got the chance to find
the perfect bike. We went to a really cool bicycle shop in Music Row called Green
Fleet Bicycle Shop. It is located on Edgehill Avenue between 16th
Ave and Villa Place. Austin Bauman, the owner, greeted us and was very helpful
in helping Megan and me choose a really awesome bike. He asked the right
questions to guide us towards the perfect fit and style.
Megan ended up with a cool white Jamis Commuter 1 Step-Over
I bought navy Jamis Commuter 1.
Seems the Jamis build is exactly what we need: a good old American
made bike!
Green Fleet provides bike rentals, new builds, tunes, repairs, and
adjustments to commuters and racing bikes. They do two bike tours of Nashville
several times a week. The Signature City Tour is
about two and a half hours and rides through Germantown, Marathon Village and
The Gulch. The Downtown Highlights Tour is an hour and a half and cruises
through the cool and historic sites of downtown Nashville. From
their site: highlights include the Symphony Center, the Ryman, Public Square,
Fort Nashboro, a smelly alley (or two - trust us they are historic), and all of
our advice on the best restaurants and music venues.
We've got a great fall ahead of us with cool weather
and great brand new bikes to ride through all the red, orange and yellow fall leaves.
