It's super short, and it just ended. I used to work in West Loop and had an 8.5 mile ride, each way. Now I've just finished my third semester as a college student. My campus is about a 12 minute ride, but we're now in winter break.
And I'm moving to New York in about a month to continue school there, joining my wife who's been there for a couple months. She was accepted to a musicians development program, so she's staying with friends till I had finished my semester here.
I guess New York City commuting will bring some excitement back to my ride!
I think it's been the short ride that makes it less critical to "suit up". I'm just cold for 12 minutes and then I've arrived. Plus being away from my wife hasn't been the most fun, that has an effect for sure. I suppose I've been less enthused in a general way.
