I did not mean roadie yelling, which seems to equate to a terrier yapping from the descriptions on road forums.

I feel your pain I spent the last two mornings being up around 4 to ensure I get my wife and her in-laws off on their respective journeys. I had to drive yesterday for a car insurance related errand and I ended up driving today since I fell asleep around 6 am and my son got me up at 8 (I normally rise at 6:15 and am at work by 8:15). Driving saved maybe 15 minutes since I showered at home while my son ate breakfast.

I must ride tomorrow or I might lose my mind. I had a good stretch of no driving to work since April. Now three time in 7 days.
I think that is a great idea! I will attempt the warrior yell while at appropriate moments during commute tomorrow. I rode 31 miles today and I am going to need some extra umph. I realized this year that I can not beat myself up if I drive. I have to have balance and do what is best for me, my family, and my sanity
