So, tomorrow I am going to cheat my commute. I have been terrible so far this year getting back into it (a week or so off will do that to me - I blame a stressful bout at work where I was unsure of how many hours I had to cram in the day and the holidays), and I think this will help get me back into it.

My wife works a little over 3 miles away from where I work - so I am going to carpool in with her, ride from her office to mine in the morning, then go from mine to hers in the afternoon. Her workday is longer (mandatory 1 hr lunch break) leaving me not losing any time from my own work.

I hope to do this twice a week, and do the full commute 2 times a week, and probably just drive on Fridays (cause I don't play around on getting the weekend started!)

What do y'all think?

EDIT: My regular ride is 11 miles each way. Hoping this will lead me to wanting to ride from home more than the twice a week I did last year. Also gives me a reason to ride my Univega mtb that doesn't have racks/panniers over my Volpe, which does (along with fenders)
