The MUP starts right outside my door. I gain 450 feet in 6.9 miles, 6 of which are on the MUP. There are eats, my bank and any other service I might use in close proximity. Even in Vegas, it rarely gets about 80 in the morning and of course my commute is all downhill on the way home. I'm only barely skeptical about riding in today as the high is forecast to be 108. Its shorts to work Spring, Fall and Winter.
Maybe its because I ride in 2 hours before the rest of the world is awake or that I'm on the MUP at 3 minutes after 5 in the evening but there is literally one other people on my route coming or going. Pollution is low and the scenery is stunning. I have the perfect commute.
