One of Anne's "firsts"

Since getting my motorcycle license in October 2006, I’ve had a number of “firsts” – for example, first time driving on a 100 series highway, first time driving in rain, first time driving at night, first time driving alone, etc., etc.  I’m sure everyone can relate to these and we have probably all discussed them together at sometime. I experienced another “first” today, Friday, May 21, 2010 – today was the first time I’ve ever ridden my bike to work.  I was so nervous about doing it that I didn’t sleep much last night which is so bizarre because I’ve ridden my bike to other provinces and the US, but riding the 30 kilometres from Fall River to work in Halifax still made me nervous.  I think rush-hour traffic was the thing that worried me the most because it can be so frustrating in a car.  Once I got here and parked my bike, I felt like kicking myself from one end of the parking garage to the other!!!  I had an awesome ride and it gave me such a great start to my work day!!  Navigating through the usual morning traffic in the city wasn’t as bad as what I thought it would be, in fact, most drivers were very courteous when I had to change lanes.  Must have been the pink gloves!!!

Anyone else have any “firsts” that they would like to share?
