heh. I live on the edge of the city, and ride into a town of 3500 residents.

I've been taking the 7.3 mile ride into work pretty frequently over the last two weeks. I have a personal goal of 1500 miles in 2010, and since I didn't start riding until the 30th of May, I have a lot of catching up to do. I did 90 miles in may. I'm going to need to do more like 300 a month from now until November because I'm sure the miles will fall off, (not end) in December when the weather is good and crappy. I figure if I can double the distance of my daily commute that's a step in the right direction, which is the reason for the 16 mile route I was looking for roads that didn't seem like major car routes.

I figured I could use the car to determine just how much traffic is actually on those roads at the times I'd be riding in, as well as gauge how wide the roads/shoulders are.
