Commuting to and from work has been pretty much all the riding I do lately. And I don't mean that like it's a bad thing, I love that part of my cycling life. I've been a nearly every day bike commuter for many years, but the fact that I'm not doing quite a lot more mileage for recreational riding kind of has me feeling down, I just can't seem to get motivated to do the kind of mileage I used to do, just for fun.

My commute to and from work is only 2.5 miles, round trip, and that's been the case for the last eighteen years with my current job, just to put the work-commuting mileage in perspective.

I do love that I get up every day and get on my bike to start my work day. It's been a difficult year so far, with some health problems, hopefully that's all behind me and I can get back to my old self, when cycing for transportation was just one part of my cycling life.
