There's a low trafficked seasonal (mostly dirt) road for a total of 15 miles, or a shorter route only 10 miles is on a rural highway (posted 55mph limit, cars go 60+) with a extra wide shoulder most of the trip.
So although I wasn't working today, I still commuted. Nice ride, humid with a threat of showers. Didn't rain until after I made it back home.
That's awesome! I'm now looking for a new home to fit my family and bike commuting is factoring heavily into my decision making.
78F / 25 C a steamy quiet Monday morning. I am in earlier than usual so streets were pleasantly deserted.
Crossing fingers that my new armadillo rear tire is the solution to my recent spate of flats.
