1) What won you over for this compared to, say, the Cross Check?
STI shifter, triple chainring, more comfortable handle bar and brake levers.
Also the aluminum frame.
Of course I can mod CC to have all that, but it would cost more than Cyclocross 5.
2) You planning on driving out to the WOD everyday or do you think you'll eventually bike the whole way? What route would you take?
Until my body & skill is ready, I'll drive W&OD, but I'll eventually drive from home.
This is my planned route.

(I forgot, but someone in this forum helped me with the route)
I drove through the roads, and it seems doable.
Americana Dr. is too much hills for me to climb (and too many parked cars).
Here is an alternate route.

If the construction at Gallow Rd is done, I think this is also a good route.
Do you have any better suggestion?
