I hate freezing for 20 minutes first thing in the morning.
i think I am in the same category I really dont stop along the way to work 11 miles, but I will stop to shed layers. Within .8 miles from my house I go down a hill in which i reach 30+ mph so I like an extra bit since I am not warmed up yet by that time. Sometimes I stop on the way home if around the lake to take a picture
But
my favorite spot to stop is my back door where my family meets me at the door to unload lights, bags, etc.
