After driving way too much all summer I was able to start commuting to work again today. whoo hoo! I’ve been spending an hour each morning in the car dropping the wife and kids off at their destinations. Driving home at lunch to let the dog out and eat. Then doing it all again after work.
today i rode the 9.3 mi to work and it was great. I've scouted some route improvements during the weekends that get me off the major roads and a big intersection. what a difference that makes. Its actually over a mile or so further but it didn't take any longer. Win, Win.
I'm going to hit the road in about an hour in the heat but I can wait. I feel like a kid again waiting for the bell to ring in school.

I thought I’d share this with some folks who would understand.

also, my new boss recognized me this morning while i was crossing I35. She thinks it's kind of crazy but cool.

Glad to be commuting again and glad to find the forum.
Cheers,
Creep dog
