dbrown417 has an excellent point: I've commuted on Norfolk Naval Base, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Washington Navy Yard, Camp Victory (Iraq), Pearl Harbor Naval Base (and shipyard), NSA Norfolk, NPS Monterey (the years are adding up here), and NOB does suck pretty bad.

In another view, I've ridden 7 triathlon courses (Pacific Grove many times, Tinley x2, Wildflower, Escape from Alcatraz, Santa Cruz Sentinel, UVAS resevoir Morgan Hill, and Treasure Island). Treasure Island was by far the worst due to the patchwork surface. In fact, it was the only bad ride I had in California. For those outside the Navy family, Treasure Island was a Navy base from just before WWII to the mid-90's.
