Ah, that is my commute. It's even better during rush hour and especially great when there's a football/soccer/baseball game or a wreck that closes any of the other roadways in that area. I think of it as awareness practice. Whatever happened during the evening at home or the day at work I have to shake it all off and freaking pay attention. Like avoiding the stretch limo that suddenly took a left turn up a wrong way street, oblivious to the "no left turn" sign and the two cyclists currently in the intersection.

Thank WADOT for the routing. They have no idea what to do with cyclists (from experience talking with them). This is all prep-work for the new tunnel; it includes a "flyover" intersection for entry into the Terminal 46 down there.

Did you get to experience the route in the rain and ride through the lakes (I am not exaggerating) that appear in the west bike lane? I get to do that tonight. Thanks rain. When will you go away?
