well today was my first commute to classes almost 30 miles away, route took me through downtown baltimore and i had always been worried about the not so nice areas. It was a beautiful ride and a great morning. 26 miles took me just under 1:40:00 and i look forward to the ride home.
not sure how my body will like commuting over 50 miles a day, but im gonna give it a try and drive on the days when i feel like i need a break
safe riding!
