The best option was to arrive early and wait outside in the cold

biking in Winter Garden Florida
Two days ago riding to bike shop from gym…Winter Garden Cemetary. Stopped to write a thought (coincidently about funerals) down in the Apple Notes app. PS. The microphone/dictation feature often works below an acceptable level while riding with wind noise.

 

ATT Store
Context. Stumbling into this ATT store was ridiculously random. One of the few stores open at 9am…a warm place to pass time.

 

ATT Store iPhone display
Passing time at ATT Store until bike shop opened at 10am. Googling “Disney Keynote Speakers” was also random.

 

Bicycle repair bill estimate

 

Glacier Cyclery
January 13, 2018. Biking Going-to-the-Sun Road will happen for the first time this Summer.

 

Disney Board announcement
Yesterday. Business is often unpredictable. Bank on it being so.

 

Disney Customer Service Speakers
Passing time at ATT Store until bike shop opened at 10am.

 

The best option was to arrive early and wait outside in the cold.

The second option was to Uber to the shop.

Cheryl drove me to the bike shop an hour before it opened because we needed to leave earlier than necessary yesterday, a Saturday, so she could attend a funeral.

i needed to get to the bike shop to pick up a repaired bicycle – so i can ride tomorrow (Monday).

With an hour of waiting, i challenged myself to relax and make the most of it. Walking around without a plan was fun and different, and it kept me warm.

PS. The bike ride home on my “new bike” was wonderful.
