Fortunately not to many folks are driving to work at 530 AM. I'm off tomorrow and am going to ride out there and back in the afternoon just to see how it goes in heavy traffic.

It may sound horrible to do , but do it 3 or 4 times in a row . That will give you an idea of how buggered you will be come Friday afternoon
. This will let you also work up a few alternate routes in your head. I was caught out last week, a road was blocked due to a fire and i had to guess my way home as i didn't know the back streets.
I will freely admit my friday night right home is at least 20 mins slower as i roll along and look at the scenery .
