I know the drill, cuz I've been in this situation before (but diff. office & I was approx 10 yrs younger). will be confirming actual needs w/ my adult kids before final commitment on my part. but the potential for a really long week is real. & 220 miles would be a big jump for me. kinda excited about it. wutz wrong w/ me?
Boston is an interesting location because the temp swings are so high. I remember waiting for the school bus with -20F in the winter and it being 100F in the summer.
My commutes are never this long, but one option is a gym/locker membership near work. I'd really consider that if I was riding 1.5 each way.
edit: 1.5 hours each way
