My normal bike commute is about 50 minutes, normal bus ride is 55minutes, today's bus ride 1:20. Not a way to start Friday. But outlook is good for the weekend. Will try to tack on the 30 miles I would have commuted to my normal 60m saturday ride. Maybe an impromtu century on Saturday- anything to erase the memory of this AM.

oh crap- I have to take that bus home dont I..............

I think the only problem with commuting by bike is dealing with the days you can't!

Thanks for the place to whinge....I feel better now.
Dude, I feel the same way, WHEN I TAKE MY CAR! Even though it takes less time, I have that guilty feeling of putting on an extra 15 miles or so when I didn't need to. Plus, I feel a lot worse, like, I never really wake up if I don't ride the bike...
