Time

Mostly anymore I commute when it is light enough for a 'daytime morning commute' -- leaving the house at 6:30-7:00. So the sun has to be up before that. Half asleep morning drivers are bad enough, and I refuse to do it when it is dark out - even though I have both bright front and rear blinky lights!

OK, so more on-topic, I have a 'goal' door-to-door time for my commute -- that is to try to beat my best. My commute is 12.5 miles one way, on relatively flat terrain. Looking at elevations, it is about 160' difference - downhill to work. My best time heading to work -- including stopping at traffic lights -- is 39 minutes flat. That's averaging 19.2mph! I don't think that's all that bad for a 60-yr-old 'semi-Clyde' riding a 30-40-year old, 25-30 pound bike!
