Right now, thats not really possible. My work schedule really doesn't permit it, at least not until mid September. I get every other weekend off, and I have been on a grave shift since the middle of July, and won't rotate back to a day shift until the middle of September. Then I can do a long ride in the middle of the week

Would that be Musli by another name?

The 10 mile route I ride is the Highline canal trail to work. Maybe I can find a way to extend that by adding a circle route on Buckley.
