On those particularly stressful work days it can be a real help to get your head out of work if only for a few minutes. To literally leave and put a different scene in front of your senses. Obviously most of us just can't pick up and leave when the day goes downhill, but we can make the most of breaks and lunches. A co-worker of mine takes her lunch time and uses it to unwind by getting outside for a short walk. This got me thinking and has led this week to the birth of the scooter lunch...This week I have discovered a short run in The City that is calm and quiet, lined with trees, old buildings, the Jones Falls, old rail tracks, and the best part... very few other people.
Now I am not really one for city scooting as joy riding with all it's stopping and starting, traffic, and lack of nature, and bad roads etc. But this short 10 minute run feels more like a little country oasis portioned off from it's surroundings, and most importantly it's just enough to get my head out of work.
OK, so if you are familiar with the neighborhood of Hampden, you want to navigate yourself to the Pepsi Plant Entrance. From there you'll simply hit the throttle and point yourself south. Take Clipper Mill Rd south, and just open it up, there is only one stop sign between you and the end of the run at North Ave. And if you pass a black Vino between 12 and 12:30 give me a wave!
