Since my wife is currently jobless and I don't have to be responsible to see the kids get up, functional, and off to school, I've started to try commuting 3-4 days a week. I packed several changes of clothes to leave at work and put my bike on the car and drove in today. I left the car at the office (gated office compound) and biked home. I'll bike commute Wed, Thurs, and Fri and drive home with clothes and bike on Friday.
Anyway, it was kind of warm this afternoon (mid 80's) and there was a headwind coming off the bay for the first part of the commute. I'm still checking out different options. I'll probably take a direct route in to work and find a longer route for the ride home.
