Good ride in this am. 64F, light winds, and cloudy. I was a scofflaw and rode on the Durham Freeway for ~ 1 mile. I've always wanted to try that to see how much shorter it was. Its only about 1/4 mile shorter, but eliminates 3 stoplights for me. Too much gravel and debris on the shoulder though, and since the freeway has rumble strips, I was forced to ride on the far right of the shoulder where the debris was at its worst. Oh well, at least I gave it a try (and didn't get caught). Might save it for the occasional day when I'm trying to get to work faster.
