1st job location (17 miles one-way) knew the route from taking it by car but I did a test ride on a quiet Sunday morning

2nd job location (13 miles one-way) knew most of the route from taking it by car but had to use google maps to cut it down to the least amount of miles. I don't remember doing a test run there, but likely left plenty of extra time, the 1st time biking it

3rd job location (22 miles one-way) this was a tough one cuz it's a 40 min+ drive (& more miles) all highways no bike friendly rds. it took a long time to develop a bike route. lots of test runs over parts of the route. 1st couple of test rides involved some significant wrong turns. used google maps to fine tune it down to the shortest # of miles. driving the planned bike route (to work in the am) on a week-day proved impossible due to traffic. started driving the bike route home from work at 5pm ish. until it became ingrained in my brain. then I was able to successfully bike it (44 miles round trip) on a quiet Sunday & some Saturdays as tests. did this several times over several years before figuring out how to work it into a work-week. last summer, developed basically a one-way ride. drive w bike on car to office Sunday afternoon, then biked home, leaving car & supplies at work parking lot. then Monday morning biked to office. then after work drove home w bike on car. only did this in good weather. recently took a 2nd job working Sundays. very physical & on my feet for 8hrs, so, doing the Sunday night thing its out ... I'll need another plan ... ;-(
