Since I am working from home today, there was no commute, but I did a quick metric half century (sounds more impressive than 30-miler) early this morning under near-ideal weather conditions. For those familiar with the area, I rode the Coaster commuter train to Oceanside, where I made the 16 mi. round trip on the San Luis Rey bike/ped path before riding home. On the train I struck up a conversation with a 50+ chap who had an older steel-framed Trek road bike -- he was doing the train-plus-bike commute thing many of us do along the San Diego County coast.
