I usually ride just a couple of blocks to the train station, and ride that and then bike just another couple blocks to work. But today I went ahead rode home without using the train. The total ride is a mere 7-8 miles, but I am a noob, and wanted to wait for the good weather to give it a try. Well is was a great day and the ride was a lot of fun. I will deffinitly be riding all the way more often!!
