Great ride in this morning, muscles were a little stiff and sore. On Saturday I did 40 miles, twice my daily commute and then zero on Sunday...After the first couple miles I started to loosten up though, and made good time, Cold here still, don't have a thermometer at my house, but the online weather station at the school down the street says it was 26 degrees at 7:00 and I leave around 6:30.
In response to the guy who lives in LA...WOW that sounds crazy, and as for alternate routes, yea, I ride twice as far to avoid one crazy intersection on my way to work, not sure that's an option (or even possible) for some. But here in Albuquerque (New Mexico) we have a great MUP infrastructure, pretty good bike paths, and even the busses have bike racks on them if you want to combo commute. It's a pretty great city to bike in.
