From: Fredericksburg, VA to Fort Belvoir by VRE and bike

Bikes: 2006 Trek 1000 SL, 1995 Performance 505 MTB, 2012 Trek 520 (my daily commuter)

Over the years, way to many years driving and sitting stopped on I-95 in Northern Virginia. For the past 10 years I've worked local, less than 30 minutes from home. Started a new job this past March which can average 1:30 one way to NoVA. I now pedal 2 miles to the train, (VRE) board my bike, get off 40 minutes later and ride the 7 miles to my office. Yes, it's averaging 2 hours door to door but factor in the 1:30 minutes each day of biking and 80 minutes of reading or napping and it's worth it. Not to mention I'm 20 pounds lighter then last year. I'm 61 and I want to be ready to really retire and hit the road on my Trek 520.
