LOL! Sounds like a match, indeed. You have to watch those box turtles. I believe they cheat.

I have a pet turtle; we'll have to meet up some time and see if we can drop him riding up Baringer Hill Of course, he's a Red-Eared Slider, so he's not great on land ... but hey, that means we have a slightly better chance, right?

I commute from Willow Ave to downtown, with part of the route via Bardstown Road (lately, I've been going Bardstown > Baxter > Main > Clay > Witherspoon > Preston > Riverwalk, because it adds a little distance and is a very pleasant ride). I usually leave around 7:15 - 7:30, though I'm trying to leave earlier now so I can add some mileage to my route.

Let me know how your commute went -- we're having amazing weather lately!
