It’s a 9 km round trip and it took me 52 minutes including shopping. I had a light to regular grocery haul (24 litres of milk and seven bunches of fruit/vegetables). Traffic was not busy and it is still light out at 8:30PM so the ride was quite comfortable.

As I was passing through the exit check I did not get any complaints but I think I will put my groceries in the bag once I get out of the store in the future. The bicycle parking is on the “lepers patio”, i.e. where employees go to smoke, so if anyone is there smoking, it stinks. On the other hand, I don’t think they get too many customers as opposed to employees using the bike rack, so I really can’t complain. Besides, the rack was closer to the entrance than my usual parking spot so I had to walk less. Because, you know, I can’t be bothered to strain myself.

I am going to drink electrolytes next time I go, I have a headache now that could have easily been prevented. Other than that was a really nice bike ride, a great example of combining pleasant with useful.

Chris said I should make the title of this blog post be “I did the Costco run in less than 12 parsecs”.
