I'm in my second week of commuting to work with "Commutasaurus"-and I love it. My homemade bike is riding great and my ride is only about 35 minutes. I look forward to each coming day and by the end of the week I will have logged 75 miles-although last week I only rode 3 days for a total of 45 miles. My commute is along and across the Potomac River into DC, it must be one of the most beautiful rides, especially on a clear morning, with the rising sun shining across the water and the profile of ducks and geese looking for breakfast all around. In the afternoon, as I race the seemingly daily thunderstorms, I see Osprey hunting overhead (my favorite raptor) and take a little extra time to watch the planes taking off and landing at National. I plan to keep this up into November at least-I just can't believe I didn't consider it sooner.
