(That time may well increase after I get my Brooks installed and broken in.)
The lack on any flat surface on any of the ride makes it feel a touch longer, especially with a FULL load of groceries on the way home.
Hydration is a good thing and I never found it that hard to put a water bottle in a cage.

I prefer to stay hydrated. Your liver may vary.
It takes me ~5 seconds to change into bike shorts.
With his claims of such a hard ass, you would think the Brooks would not need to be broken in for him.
